How to install from AUR

It is recommended to use an AUR helper like Yay to help installing and managing your files from the AUR. I have added a guide for yay you can find it here

AUR = Arch User Repository.

First install base-devel

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Next find the packet that you want to install in the AUR use git clone to pull the image.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package_name.git

Change directories to the directory containing the package's PKGBUILD.
cd package_name

Next we will use makepkg - (package build utility)
makepkg -si

Finally you can install the packet with pacman.

pacman -U package_name-version-architecture.pkg.tar.zst
