Because the manufacturer is no longer providing the binary files without authentication, you will need to download them manually and place them into the building directory.

As far as I know, you can only authenticate from an Ubuntu distribution (20.04) according to their instruction on their website (https://support.prometheanworld.com/s/article/1758#terminal). Follow the steps on another (virtual) machine, but then use a command to download and save the .deb-package, for example
sudo apt download activinspire

Copy the files to your Arch Linux distribution (into the build directory), then build and install the AUR package.
edit: The binaries only seem to work in an x11 session. Trying to execute them on a wayland compositor leads to weird segmentation faults. If someone can fix the problem or just find an easy workaround, please do tell. Thank you.
