How to install packages from the AUR

Hello everyone,

I want to install google chrome and my Brother printer DCP-9022 CDW from the AUR, but I can’t do it. When entering e.g. from

yay -S google chrome

The terminal downloads packages but does not install them. So far I’m using Manjaro and I know that the packages are in the AUR. But how can I install this on EndeavorOS?

yay -S google chrome
 -> No AUR package found for google
 -> No AUR package found for chrome
 there is nothing to do

as this 2 packages do not exist…

yay -Ss google-chrome would search for it

aur/google-chrome 123.0.6312.86-1 (+2218 4.53) 
    The popular web browser by Google (Stable Channel)

and yay -S google-chrome

To make your endeavour a little easier:

Seem is not driverless (IPP everywhere) compatible, so you may really need the driver from AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-dcp-9022cdw
but this is Last Updated: 2018-02-19 05:28 (UTC) …

installing it in the same way:
yay -S brother-dcp-9022cdw

yay -Ss google-chrome
