compiling Google Play Music Desktop Player from GIT [SOLVED]

Hi I'm fairly new to Arch have been using it for some time and am happy with it. I recently found that the installed AUR version of GPMDP running using snapd but recently it stopped working so I uninstalled and am trying to build the latest version from the GIT repository.  I have installed the pkgbuild base package following Arch Wiki but when I clone the GIT repo and cd into the new folder and execute the pckgbuild command, I get a message "==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.".  Not sure what else to do, any ideas?

Ok thanks SOLVED and thread CLOSED.

Re: compiling Google Play Music Desktop Player from GIT [SOLVED]

Ok I have copied the address found on arch page gpmdp-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/gpmdp-git.git) using terminal executed the -si command after cloning, it seems to install then I get an error. The error log is available but long this is a selection of the last two lines: "40248 error Failed at the runas@3.1.1 install script.
40248 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above." Funny that I can download the .rpm file and execute the shell with no problem, just installing seems tricky.....
