Hi. I can't seem to find a download link that works- to get & install Yaourt.
Offline
Did you try to download it from the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5863 ?

Better yet, Yaourt is in the French repo (I recommend adding it, lots of apps are available in English, and there's lots of nifty tools there - a few aren't as updated as the AUR versions, though, like bin32-wine): http://repo.archlinux.fr/

I just downloaded the tarball that's listed in the Wiki fine.

How about you read the wiki? Or learn how to use the AUR?

Easy Install
The easiest way to install Yaourt is to add the yaourt repository to your /etc/pacman.conf:
[archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
for i686 or:
[archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
for x86-64.
Sync and install:
pacman -Sy yaourt

Pacman -U http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686/yaourt-0.9.2.3-1.pkg.tar.gz

There's a novel approach, read the instructions.

Please, don't get too critical We all make mistakes. Just point it out once and leave it.

it would be nice to have yaourt in the official archlinux repositories...
So many people are wanting this.

This comment seems to come up every once and a while, you can probably find other threads where it was discussed. Basically the thought is since yaourt is meant for making packages outside the official repositories, it's better that people learn how to build a package themselves so they understand what yaourt is doing with PKGBUILD files and such rather than somebody blindly doing a pacman -S yaourt.

hmm, it's true it does make sense this way.

And installing packages from the AUR may be dangerous so will never be supported by a tool in the official repos.

yaourt just needs to merge with gtkpacman and then we're in business
Personally I think it's better for beginners to start off with the makepkg commands. Even though they're more time consuming to do they're well worth knowing about.

I'm disappointed in the immature & elitist approach of some of the Arch members in this thread.
If you can't help someone, then don't post.
I used to be surprised that I was still surprised by my own stupidity, finding it strangely refreshing.
Well, now I don't find it refreshing.
I'm over it!

The wiki is there for a reason though, some people just don't read what's provided. I installed yaourt first day of using Arch just by reading.
And to be fair, they did solve the problem!

I agree about the wiki, & I too had no problem installing yaourt.
