AUR Package Manager

This project uses some packages from the Arch Linux AUR repos. As such, we are going to setup a package manager for those packages. Pacman doesn't support the AUR repos natively and this is the most accessible approach for installing AUR packages.

The commands below will setup the yay AUR package manager.


pacman -S --needed base-devel go
useradd yay -s /usr/bin/nologin
mkdir /home/yay
chown yay: -R /home/yay
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git /opt/yay
chown yay: -R /opt/yay/
cd /opt/yay
cat > /etc/sudoers.d/yay <<EOF
yay ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
EOF
chmod 600 /etc/sudoers.d/yay
sudo -sHu yay makepkg -si
cat >> ~/.bashrc <<EOF
alias yay="/usr/bin/sudo -sHu yay /usr/bin/yay"
EOF
source ~/.bashrc
