Attempt to run the most recent version of Dotfiles Installer designed by Stephan Raabe on CachyOS250713

Following below is the step by step review of recent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuqe5Hs00Go&t=686s posted by Stephan Raabe . Notice that current version of Dotfile Installer requires flatpak and yay to be preinstalled on any of Arch Linux Clones and  CachyOS250713 in particular . So we have to start with yay installation to avoid silent failure of installation itself .

 sudo pacman -S flatpak yay
