Terminal wifi connection

So I installed endeavourOS minimal.
After booting I was presented in the terminal (tty I guess) , I logged in and tried to check my internet connection by running ‘ping google.com’ but it didn’t work and arch commands like ‘iwctl’ doesn’t work so how do I connect to wifi (my laptop doesn’t have a ethernet port)
Please help even if my question might be a nuisance for you

If iwctl isn’t there, what’s the result of nmcli device wifi list?

And please give the output of inxi -Na.


What do you think?

I think that without either iwctl or nmcli installed, it is quite a challenge to connect to wifi.

Do you have iw? As in iw dev? What’s the output of the last one?


??did I messed up the installation?

Yes. You have too little installed to connect. You’d need either network manager, iwd, iw or wireless_tools, depending on your system.

Also, I highly recommend one of these bad boys to have for future installations. Makes life a lot easier when the WLAN doesn’t work for whatever reason.

You did a minimal install, there shouldn’t be much of a loss for you just reinstalling with the proper wireless drivers and utilities.

Ok I’ll reinstall
Thanks for help

You’re welcome. Please mark my answer above as solution, so others can see that without the network utilities it’s not possible.
