To install yaourt on Arch Linux, follow these steps:

1. Download the yaourt package from the AUR using wget:

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/package-query.tar.gz

2. Extract the package:

tar xvf package-query.tar.gz

3. Change to the directory containing the package:

cd package-query

4. Build and install the package:

makepkg -si

This will build and install the package-query package, which is a dependency for yaourt.
