Check your system settings for AUR installation options. If not visible, enable the AUR service and configure preferences in your software settings. Consult the AUR documentation or community forums for specific steps.

It's a AUR package manager. I don't know of a way to add to the package manager.

With the XFCE version, you could turn on a specific tab in pamac’s configuration. It’s unclear which Pacman package manager the newer KDE setup relies on.

The AUR relies on the Pamac graphical package manager. You can turn AUR on in Prefrences->AUR, but I recommend against using Pamac for this purpose. It tends to cause stability problems and often attempts automatic updates, which isn't suitable for AUR packages. Manjaro generally discourages AUR usage, and Pamac support is more of a secondary option to assist the community. Key points: AUR is designed for Arch Linux, not Manjaro. Packages in AUR are frequently broken due to Manjaro's cautious approach. The AUR accepts PKGBUILDS, meaning most items require compiling from source—this can be slow and resource-intensive on some systems. There are exceptions with pre-compiled binaries, usually marked with *-bin.
