Arch noob here: Is there a single command to install from the AUR? And if the answer is no, why not?

Because it’s not really safe to install random unverified software. You’re supposed to review the make file before running it.

However, there are helpers, look for paru or yay, then it’s as simple as installing with pacman.

Ah thanks, I'll look into that.
