[SOLVED] Can't install Proton: error authenticating: no auth sock...

I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot install Proton from the AUR. I used paru and yay, neither worked.
My system is updated to 5.14.12-arch1-1. All packages are up to date.

This is what I get when I run yay proton.

.

.
Updating crates.io index
error: failed to get `array-init` as a dependency of package `proton-media-converter v6.3.0 ($HOME/.cache/yay/proton/src/proton/media-converter)`

Caused by:
  failed to load source for dependency `array-init`

Caused by:
  Unable to update registry `crates-io`

Caused by:
  failed to fetch `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`

Caused by:

  if the git CLI succeeds then `net.git-fetch-with-cli` may help here

It's because rust.
