Aur helpers installation

It is possible to install an AUR (Arch User Repository) Helper on those VMs. I recommend using the Setup Script to setup firefox and an aur helper. To manually install a helper, you can:

Setup with the autosetup and install the helper from the paru
Use a PKGbuild (instructions below for most common ones)

Installing yay

First, install the base packages with

pacman -S --needed base-devel
pacman -S kernel26-headers file base-devel abs git

Then install the aur helper with

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

you can now search packages with yay -Ss and install them

Installing paru

First, install the base packages with

pacman -S --needed base-devel
pacman -S kernel26-headers file base-devel abs git

Then install the aur helper with

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

you can now search packages with paru search and install them
