Incorrect installation command for Arch linux #46

The installation command in the README for Arch linux is pacman -U jless, but jless is not (yet!) in the main arch repositories. The link to the AUR is correct, but the pacman command cannot install from the AUR.

Since using tools like yay/aurman etc. which do install from the AUR are not officially supported by arch, and arch users presumably know how to install from the AUR anyway, I'd recommend just keeping the link, and not giving an installation command, just a message like "Available in the AUR".

Love the tool!

Thanks for the heads up! Fixed in 8cf15ea (README) and 8210adf (website)

@PaulJuliusMartinez the link https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jless is a 404. Did you remove the package?

In addition, the command is not quiet right to install directly from Arch Linux repositories.
pacman -U installs a package from a file path or an URL.
To install directly from the repositories, pacman -S is being used.
