SYNOPSIS

yaourt [OPTIONS] [PACKAGE...]

DESCRIPTION

yaourt (Yet AnOther User Repository Tool) is an AUR helper for Arch Linux that wraps pacman with additional features for building packages from the Arch User Repository.It combines official repository and AUR package management in a single interface with colorized output, interactive search/install, and orphan detection. Since the majority of yaourt's options are the same as pacman's, it can be used as a drop-in replacement.
