yay

Installing yay

makepkg relies on base-devel:

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel

yay is written in go and therefor needs the go compiler.

The following command can be used to check if go is installed:

go version

If go is not installed, it can be installed like so:

sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S go

Get the yay-package …

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

… and create a pacman-compatible package:

cd yay
makepkg -si
