If possible, you should use your distro's package manager to install software. Short version: To install lynx, as root, in a terminal enter pacman -S lynx but don't do that until you've read enough of the documentation on your system (man pacman) and confirmed that I'm not giving you incorrect advice. Caveat lector: I am an internet stranger handing out free advice about a linux distro I've never used. Longer version: Open a terminal and at the prompt enter man pacman to read about your package manager. I think. I've never used manjaro. Or Arch. But its a good bet that pacman is it. You can also read the Archwiki page on pacman, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Installing_packages but I'd start with the man page on your own system, if I were you. If you get to the part about configuring package mirrors (on the archlinux wiki), keep in mind that the Arch package mirrors are not for you. You want pacman to use a Manjaro package mirror. Hopefully your manjaro-installing friend has already taken care of that part.
