[SOLVED] Problem installing Electron20 with yay

I'm trying to install Electron20 so I can install Hyper terminal
But when I try to install it:

yay -S electron20

it returns an error:

  File "/home/hangy/.cache/yay/electron20/src/depot_tools/gclient_scm.py", line 590, in wrapper
    return_val = f(*args)
                 ^^^^^^^^

    copyfile(src, dst, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/shutil.py", line 256, in copyfile
    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/hangy/.cache/yay/electron20/src/src/third_party/electron_node'

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: electron20-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
electron20 - exit status 4

Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you, I followed the instructions and have successfully installed Hyper terminal
For anyone who's trying to install it and relatively new to Arch, I highly recommend to read this.

Maybe stop using yay.

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.

Aur helpers obscure what happens, they should only be used by people users who understand the package building process and can do basic troubleshooting.

Use the manual makepkg/pacman method until
- you feel you know how it works
- you understand how to solve common situations (like having to rebuild an aur package when one of its repo depes changes  sonames ).

Once you have reached that point consider if your workflow could be improved by simple methods like a few custom scripts or whether an aur helper matches your workflow better.
Don't choose an aur helper because "everyone says it is the best" , make your own judgment based on your needs.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
