I want to install yay for downloading package from AUR ArchLinux, I don't know what to do?! Thanks for your helping.

When I use git clone and then use the makepkg -si command , it gives me this error:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Error text:

==> ERROR: Cannot find the fakeroot binary.
==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping.

You're missing the libraries to compile the package. To install them:

sudo pacman -S binutils make gcc pkg-config fakeroot

or, to install basic tools for compiling code:

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Also instead of installing and compiling yay (which also requires you to install all the GO libraries) why not installing the precompiled yay-bin? It's the same package.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si

try with that:

sudo pacman -S binutils make gcc pkg-config fakeroot

then again try to makepkg.
