Can someone help me build a package?

I found this of no help
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages

I need to build “windscribe-cli” with pacman, any suggestions?
Thanks.

yay -S windscribe-cli

Because you don’t need to create a package. What you need is in the AUR. You need to build a package from the AUR which pacman can’t do by itself. However, yay can.

After you install windscribe you can start the service on boot with the following command “sudo systemctl enable windscribe”
