Ruslan Kiianchuk 5cc239bc3e Fix pacaur invocation in Arch installation (#2663)
Pacaur does not work as root for security reasons, it will only ask for a password interactively when invoking `makepkg`:

```
$ sudo pacaur -S home-assistant
[sudo] password for zoresvit: 
:: you cannot perform this operation as root
```

[ArchLinux](https://www.archlinux.org/) is a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution. There are official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures available.
Install the needed Python packages.
```bash
$ sudo pacman -S python
$ sudo pacman -S python-pip
```
and Home Assistant itself.
```bash
$ pip3 install homeassistant
```
Home Assistant is part of the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/home-assistant/). This means that it can be installed with `pacaur`:
```bash
$ pacaur -S home-assistant
```
