I'd suggest to avoid follow videos, many times they aren't maintained and falling into obsolete status. Wiki is always the first to be consulted.
If you installed with pacman packaging the you will have the option to get the list of the files by
$ pacman -Ql pamac
Then you may find the executable located usually in /usr/bin.
Furthermore you may check the pacman.log to see what happened to your installation.
$ less /var/log/pacman.log

Learn how to use the AUR properly before you start relying on AUR helpers.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg
If you still can't build and install AUR packages, then post the exact steps you ran, as well as the output.

Hi, Thanks for replying.
$ pacman -Ql pamac
When entering this I got:
error: package 'pamac' was not found
Then you may find the executable located usually in /usr/bin.
I did not find any executable here. I believe that it was not installed at all.
The exact steps I ran were:
pacman -S --needed base-devel git wget yajl
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
yay -S pacman-aur

WTF?! You are trying to install one AUR helper just so you can use it to install another AUR helper? And in trying to install that other aur-helper you made up a name for it that doesn't exist: what is "pacman-aur"??
Again:
Learn how to use the AUR properly before you start relying on AUR helpers.
And when you use the AUR properly, if something goes wrong, post complete commands and output.

So this is the 4th time I read the wiki on Arch User Repository. As I am understanding, instead of what I did, I needed to clone the https://aur.archlinux.org/pamac-aur.git and then
makepkg
. was this correct?

See the warning from Arch_User_Repository#Build_and_install_the_package.

See the warning from Arch_User_Repository#Build_and_install_the_package.
There is a pamac.install file in there, but it seems ok I dont think there is any issue. but when I run makepkg -si it aborts at the end

Probably the if you show what that output writes then we may give you more detailed answer.

Just run your build command (e.g. ninja) and Meson will regenerate as necessary.
If ninja fails, run "ninja reconfigure" or "meson --reconfigure"
to force Meson to regenerate.
If build failures persist, run "meson setup --wipe" to rebuild from scratch
using the same options as passed when configuring the build.
To change option values, run "meson configure" instead.
