 These pages contain comments from both existing users and package developers, which may provide valuable information (such as, warnings and/or solutions to problems).
 The AUR website can be found '''[http://aur.archlinux.org/ here]'''}}
 To search for and install software packages from the AUR, the syntax is:
   pamac search -a [software package name]
 For example, if wishing to install ''Vivaldi'' enter ''vivaldi'' as the query and a list of potential matches is shown. To build the example with '''pamac''' enter the following and press enter
   pamac build vivaldi
 You will be presented with the outcome of the chosen build with all dependencies and you will be asked a couple of questions.

 To do that follow the steps given below:
 * Be sure you have the necessary files for building applications from source
   pamac install base-devel git
+* Clone the PKGBUILD
-* Download the tarball from the AUR preferably to ''~/Downloads''
+ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/foo.git
-(just click on the tarball from your browser and you should get it)
+* Change directory to cloned folder
+  cd foo
-* Make a sub-directory in downloads called builds:
- mkdir ~/Downloads/builds
--- Move the tarball to builds (Note that foo is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you've downloaded):
- mv foo.tar.gz builds
--- Change directory to the builds folder-
-  cd builds
--- Untar the tarball
- tar -xvf foo.tar.gz
--- Move into the new sub-directory
- cd <foo>
 * To make/compile the package, run:
   makepkg -s
