docs(readme): correct yay installation instructions for Arch Linux

Open Dexter2038 opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Reason: 'yay' is not in official Arch Linux repositories, so sudo pacman -S yay will fail.

Changes:

  • Remove sudo pacman -S yay
  • Add proper AUR installation steps
  • Add base-devel to pacman command, since it's required for AUR builds
  • Add --needed flag to avoid reinstalling existing packages

Tested it on my system and it works.

Description

Fix incorrect yay installation instructions for Arch Linux

The current documentation suggests sudo pacman -S yay, which fails because yay is not in the official Arch repositories (it's only available in AUR).

Changes:

  • Removed incorrect sudo pacman -S yay line
  • Added proper AUR installation: git clone + makepkg
  • Added base-devel to system dependencies (required for AUR builds)
  • Added --needed flag to avoid reinstalling existing packages

Tested successfully on my Arch Linux system.

Screenshots/videos:

Terminal output verifying the corrected installation steps work: result
