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.
