title: "Install yay"

```sh
|
|
pacman --sync --noconfirm --needed base-devel gcc git
|
|
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
|
|
cd yay
|
|
makepkg -si
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The flags are mostly the same as in `pacman`.
|
|
But running `yay` without flags will do the update like `yay -Syu` and with package name it will search packages in the AUR and `pacman` repos, and let you choose which to install.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yay <search_term>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Building the package can usually take some time, and after the build it will ask for the `sudo` password.
|
|
If you leave, the installation will fail.
|
|
To avoid this, you can use the flag `--sudoloop` and enter the sudo password initially and it will loop it until the installation is finished.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yay -S --noconfirm --sudoloop <package_name>
|
|
```
