Yay command Chroot

Why on earth would you want to install Pamac for this? Completely unnecessary (and it wouldn’t work).

@mmtech use the option -u with arch-chroot to specify a non-root user:

arch-chroot -u your_user_name
Actually, you can just mount a drive and use the live image user for this, no need to chroot.

That will let you build a package using makepkg:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-470xx-utils.git
cd nvidia-470xx-utils
makepkg

Then chroot, and cd into the build directory, and use pacman -U to install the package(s):

pacman -U nvidia-470xx-dkms-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst nvidia-470xx-utils-470.141.03-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
