Thanks Shaan for testing it out
 If you have any changes to the autoinstall.sh, you can create a PR, and it
would be beneficial to extend this to others.

Regarding empy again, it is because empy does not create a executable on
arch (see https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/896 and more)
If you try the dev version, which is fixed on the master.

Try installing autoinstall.sh-git

Otherwise, of you would like to stick with the default released version
(0.116)
Then, as another user showed interest, you might want to install the Debian
derived python3-empy
https://github.com/srevinsaju/python3-empy-AUR

You can install it by
pacman -U <name of package>

Hope this will fix your issue.
There exists a sugar package for 0.114 by Ballo Gyorgy. I have asked the
admins of the Arch Linux AUR, but it seems like they cannot replace a
community package unless its more than 3 years old.

Thanks
