If you want to do all of this at once, we can chain the commands like so:

```sh
pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si
```

### Binary

⚠️ We are using `sudo` in this example you can switch that out for a different privilage escalation tool.

If you do not want to compile yay yourself you can use the builds generated by
GitHub Actions.
