Arch AnyConnect VPN installation issues.

Dear Arch community,
I am a new Arch Linux user. I just switch over from Ubuntu, so that i can get more experience with Linux. My school offers an VPN for us to connect to called AnyConnect VPN. The school offers a link to the vpn which detects your operating system and downloads the correct installation file. It did this with my Ubuntu OS. However, the website was not able to detect my Arch OS, so i was given a link to a tar file to download the VPN. However, when i try to install the VPN as directed, i get the following error (see below). Does anyone know how to reslove this issue ?

Steps to reproduce the issue.

[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ sudo pacman -S openconnect
[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ sudo pacman -S networkmanager-openconnect

[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ wget http://SCHOOL/anyconnect-predeploy-linux-64-3.1.03103-k9.tar.gz
[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ tar xf anyconnect-predeploy-linux-64-3.1.03103-k9tar.gz
[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ cd anyconnect-3.1.03103/vpn

[akrala@TARDIS vpn]$ sudo ./vpn_install.sh

Cisco anyconnect client doesn't appear to work on archlinux at all, but there's an alternative :

You may have to ask your school for the address of their anyconnect server.
