Please install 'dialog' for Arch

Software & Operating Systems Linux

For Arch Linux what is the command for installing ‘dialog’ package

I got message “Please install ‘dialog’ to use wifi-menu”

I got my first Arch Linux system installed, wifi-menu worked on the bootable media to get a wireless connection, but now when I booted into Arch I got this message when trying wifi-menu command

I used a wired connection to do some further installs like graphic/GUI

I’ve followed several tutorials that have failed, but if I just knew the command to install this package I know I’d be able to get my wireless connection up in running.

You know how to solve OPs problem?

Also OP, we do have an Arch Linux club thread.
