Not all Manjaro editions have the needed software installed by default, to install software from this application you need to install
web-installer-url-handler
package, that is available in Manjaro repositories.
You are advised to use the installer only if you are on Stable branch, as it might not work on others.
pamac install web-installer-url-handler

What are package formats?
A package is a file that describes how and where software is installed in your OS. Manjaro is not responsible for the contents or quality of the installed software, only install software if you trust it.
Native packages, as the name suggests, are packages that are specifically built for Manjaro. They are officially supported and usually depend on other packages in the system to function properly.
Portable 3rd-party-packages work across distributions unlike traditional native packages.
Flatpaks
are self-contained packages with inbuilt dependencies and do not depend on the system to run.
Snaps
are self-contained containers that could have dependencies. It's more or less the same as running Ubuntu with a Manjaro Kernel.
Appimages
are portable single file package that runs on usespace without the need for being installed.

You should use the default package manager user interface
Pamac
(Add/Remove Software). It does support other package formats,
you might need to install
libpamac-flatpak-plugin
or
libpamac-snap-plugin
for compatibility with additional formats and then activate them under Pamac settings.
There is also
pamac-cli
and
pacman
which support native packages.
Other options to manage third-party packages: For Snaps you can install
snapd
and for Flatpaks you can install
flatpak
there is also
manjaro-cli
that supports all package formats.
Examples:
pamac install packageName
pacman -S packageName
snap install packageName
flatpak install packageName
manjaro install -n packageName
Not sure what to use? use Pamac or pamac-cli as it comes by default on any edition.
You can also run this installer locally by installing
software-center-web-jak
.
