~ AUR – Arch User Repository

AUR ( Arch User Repository )

If you are looking for a package that isn’t inside the Arch repository you will probably find it in the AUR.
The standard package installation is a bit long but you can automate the process by Installing YAY.

YAY command

To install the yay command you will have to follow the standard procedure so if you don’t wish to use yay, you can use the same process to install any other package from the AUR.

From the terminal type:

sudo pacman -S git (to install git command)
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git (to download yay directory)
cd yay (to enter yay directory)
makepkg -s (inside the yay directory to build the package (it will install dependencies))
sudo pacman -U yay-……….pkg.tar.zst (to finish the installation)
which yay (to check if yay is install)

yay AURpackagename (to search and install the package name)

 

and… that’s it. now we have automated the process
