[EndeavorOS] Trying to install cmake but keeps returning errors

I'm using yay -S cmake to install. This is the output it returns:

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Fixed with sudo pacman -Syu

Might fix it self with a pacman -Syu
- That did the trick. Thanks! Now I feel stupid for posting this.
  
  For your education:
  Pacman like many other package managers tries to minimize network queries, to do this you download a manifest of every package available and its installation instructions. -Sy downloads the latest manifest from all of your pacman repos, -u installs the packages whose "version" field changed between the old and new manifests.
  These error messages show that the domain name the manifest had for your package was unavailable, this is why you should check for updates.
  
  Just to add, I have been told by people who know, that you should always update when installing a new package because not doing so can leave your system in an inconsistent state. Just get into the habit of running pacman -Syu <package-name> or if you use yay, yay -Syu <package-name>
404 HTTP error. Your mirror is down. Try again later, or switch your mirror.
- My mirror must be permanently down because I've attempted to install cmake several times over the past three days. How do I go about switching it?
  
  Are you behind a few distro upgrades? They do deprecate the non-LTS mirrors.
