Did you ever download a package from aur before? If not you can get and set up yaourt on archlinux
The OP already pointed out that yaourt is installed, this is the reason why I gave hints how to use yaourt and that I mentioned that yaourt is neither an official supported, nor a recommended tool. I'm not against yaourt, I'm a yaourt user myself, but it is essential to understand a few things. On Thu, 17 Nov 2016 01:08:41 +0000, Travis Collins wrote:
Downloading yaourt, finding the dependencies, installing them all manually, are great primers for actually using AUR. yaourt makes it easy to blow right through installs without looking at the PKGBUILD. Even after discovering yaourt, I still installed AUR packages manually until I understood the process and was comfortable with it.
It doesn't harm to read comments and to take a look at the PKGBUILD when using yaourt. When not using yaourt there anyway is no need to install dependencies manually, see man makepkg and https://wiki.archlinux.org/ Regards, Ralf
