Oh, honey, you wanna know how to use this AUR thing? It ain’t that hard, lemme tell ya. It’s like when you wanna cook somethin’ new, you gotta find the recipe, right? This AUR thing, it’s like a big ol’ cookbook for your computer. You find the stuff you want, and then you gotta “cook” it, or install it, as they say.
First thing, you gotta get yourself a “helper”. It’s like your kitchen helper, does all the heavy liftin’. This “helper” thing, they got names like “yay” and “pamac”. Don’t ask me why they got such silly names. Anyway, you get one of them, and then you can start lookin’ for stuff. It’s like lookin’ in the cookbook for what you wanna make.
So, you open up this “helper” thing, and you type in what you want. Like, say you want this “game”, you just type the name of the game. If the cookbook got it, it’ll show up. Then you gotta tell it to “make” it. It’ll do all sorts of things, like gatherin’ ingredients, mixin’ them up, and puttin’ it in the oven. You just gotta wait.
Sometimes, it’ll ask you questions, like, “You sure you wanna put this spice in?” You just say “yes” if you want it. Just hit that “Y” key, like you’re sayin’ “yep!”. And then it keeps cookin’.
Now, some folks, they like to do things the hard way. They go to this “AUR website” thing. It’s like goin’ to the library and lookin’ for the recipe yourself. You can find the instructions there, all written down. But it’s all complicated, with big words and stuff. I tell ya, it’s easier to just use the “helper”.
And don’t forget, you gotta make sure you got the right pots and pans. That’s like makin’ sure your computer is ready for the new stuff. Sometimes, you gotta update things, or get some extra tools. The “helper” will usually tell you if you need somethin’.
One more thing, you gotta be careful what you put in your computer, just like you gotta be careful what you eat. Don’t just go downloadin’ anythin’ you find. Make sure it’s from a good source, like a trusted cookbook. You don’t wanna get sick, do ya? Same thing with your computer, you don’t want it gettin’ all messed up.
So, that’s pretty much it. Get a “helper”, find what you want, tell it to make it, and wait. It’s just like cookin’, but for your computer.
- Find a “helper” like yay or pamac.
- Search for what you want in the “helper”.
- Tell the “helper” to install it (“make” it).
- Answer “Y” if it asks you questions.
- Make sure your computer is ready (like having the right pots and pans).
- Be careful what you download.
There you go, honey. Now you know how to use this AUR thing. Go on and try it yourself. Don’t be scared, it ain’t as hard as it sounds.
