Trying to install pamac and getting errors

Hi everyone, I'm new to Arch and was trying to install pamac using

yay -S pamac-aur

but it's not installing and I'm getting these error outputs:

WARNING: Could not detect glib version, assuming 2.54. You may get build errors if your glib
 is older.

Run-time dependency gobject-2.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

Here is the whole output:

I tried searching google for answers but after a few days with no luck, I thought I'd ask for your help. Thank you.

I find that hard to believe as there is active discussion on why this will not build on the package's aur page.

I was able to figure it out right after I wrote this. I came over from ubuntu and used linux homebrew which wasn't as compatible with arch. Deleted homebrew and everything worked. Sorry for my lack of understanding arch.
