I'm new to arch so any help on this subject is much appreciated. I have been trying to install yaourt on manjaro, but this is the error message I receive. 

[manjaro@manjaro-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -S yaourt
error: target not found: yaourt

  • My apologies for the mistake. I am using a fresh install of Manjaro. I began with a system update and upgrade (which i have an error messages); error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: manjaro-gnome-settings-18.0 and manjaro-gnome-settings-17.0 are in conflict – Reubenite King Nov 14 '19 at 16:04
  • regarding your conflicting dependencies, see: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-gnome-settings-18-0-and-manjaro-gnome-settings-17-0-are-in-conflict/63701/4 – SYN Nov 14 '19 at 16:33
  • regarding yaourt: it's slowly dying. You can look into `packer` instead – SYN Nov 14 '19 at 16:34
  • use `git clone` then `makepkg` – JoKeR Nov 14 '19 at 22:27

Yaourt was removed from the official servers of Arch Linux by serious security problems. Die.

It can no longer -or should not be- download from official repositories, and it's not safe to do it by any other means.

I recommend switching to safer alternatives for AUR packages, like aurman.

Links of interest:

Update with aurman installation:

You can install aurman with the following script:

#!/bin/bash

cd /tmp
gpg --recv-key 465022E743D71E39
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aurman.git
cd aurman
makepkg -si
sudo sed -i '/^#Color/s/^#//' /etc/pacman.conf
aurman -Syu

The use of aurman is more simple that yaourt, and very similar to pacman.
