The Arch User Repository or AUR is probably the best features of Arch Linux. If a program is available for Linux it is very unlikely that you would not be able to find it in the AUR. This means that you can install any program on Arch with ease. 

Yaourt provide very smooth experince of interactive search and install from the AUR.

To add the Yaourt repository to the pacman config file, run:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

and add the following lines at the end of the file:

# Repo to install yaourt
[archlinuxfr]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

Ctrl+O Ctrl+X to save and exit.

To install Yaourt type:

sudo pacman -Suy
sudo pacman -S yaourt

To install a package from the AUR:

yaourt -S package_name

To upgrade packages installed from the AUR:

yaourt -Suy --aur --noconfirm
