yay (yet another yogurt) is an AUR helper for Arch Linux that allows you to easily install, update & manage packages from the AUR as well as the standard Arch repositories.
before you install yay, you will need to do a few things first.
first, update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
next, install dependencies:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git
there are two methods of installing yay – the pre-compiled binary or from source. for the purposes of this article we will be using the binary.
clone the yay-bin repository:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
build and install the yay package:
makepkg -si
verify yay is installed:
yay --version
