[SOLVED] Trouble installing an AUR package - is it me?

As in the title - just looking to see if I'm missing something simple. I'm using yay, Terminal output below:

Try makepkg instead, that works for me:

~$ pacman -Q apple-fonts
apple-fonts 6-1
~$

And please use code tags when posting terminal output. Thanks.

If there is a problem with a user trying to install a package by using yay, the question isn't whether the problem is with the user or the package but rather whether it's with the user, the package, or yay. And a majority of the time, the problem is with yay. Please do not use it.

Though of course if the error persists with makepkg, then show that output here (in code tags as noted above).

Hi, thanks for this - when using the above command I get back that the package was not found. Am I missing something stupid?

Noted, thanks - I was using yay as I thought the package was a non-core package not found in the standard arch repository looked at by pacman. I'm reasonably new to arch though, am I missing something?

HoaS showed output that he successfully installed the package. Those commands obviously will not show the package successfully installed on your system as you have not done that yet because attempting to install it with yay failed. While we really can't know yet, I'm suspicious that yay is the source of the problem - so the solution is to not use yay. But you still need to build and install the package!

No, not at all, I'm just being obtuse (as usual) — that command just indicated successful installation of the package in my system.

But for AUR packages you should always try a manual build with makepkg(8) if the "helper" program fails. The details can be found on the "AUR" page in the ArchWiki.

You learn something new every day! I didn't know you could install packages like that. All sorted now, thanks for the help!
