Install AnyDesk on Arch Linux via the AUR

1

Install yay (AUR helper)

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Run these together, then wait for the build to finish.

2

Install AnyDesk

yay -S anydesk-bin

Don't prefix yay with sudo — it elevates itself when needed.

3

Start the daemon

sudo systemctl enable --now anydeskd

AnyDesk needs this background service running to connect. Launch the app with anydesk.
