How to install the Yay aur helper on Arch Linux

It's possible to install aur packages without the help of an aur helper, but it can simplify the process. This is how to install the aur helper. 

The first thing you have to do is make sure you have the headers for your kernel installed, which if you were following the installation wiki you have already. The headers for your kernel will be different depending which kernel you have installed. 

Install the following packages with pacman, they will get the utilities needed to build yay. 

    sudo pacman -S git base-devel

    cd /tmp
    git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-git.git
    makepkg -si
