Procedure
Install yay AUR helper on Arch Linux
On Arch Linux, ensure git and base-devel are installed with pacman, clone yay from the AUR, build with makepkg as a regular user, then verify with yay --version.
Step 1
As a regular Arch user with package-install privileges, install build deps (elevated pacman): pacman -S --needed git base-devel
Step 2
Clone and build yay as a non-root user per https://github.com/Jguer/yay : git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si — review PKGBUILD prompts; makepkg must not run as root.
Step 3
yay --version
