This:

should help with installing yaourt.

Though I don't know what shaman is. Perhaps it can be installed via yaourt? Yaourt works the same as pacman btw, so it shouldn't cause you any problems.

Note that yaourt accesses the AUR, automating the process for you, but is not necessary. You can manually install any package from the AUR using 'makepkg -cs'.

I used makepkg only for building yaourt

1. cant figure out how to install it.

1. Add the repository to your /etc/pacman.conf file. For example, if you are running i686, add

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

to your /etc/pacman.conf file.
2. pacman -Sy
3. pacman -S yaourt

Hehe.
