Wifi set up before installation.

Hi.

A while ago, I was able to get Arch installed on my laptop but decided to switch to ubuntu for a while.  Recently I decided to give Arch another go, and I ran into a problem that I didn't have the first time I installed it, and it's confusing me quite a bit.  It happens early on during the installation process: during the wifi set up.

I did the following according to the beginners guide:

I typed iwconfig to find the name of my wireless interface(I can't access a browser from the installer, so I'm just going to type the entire output).  It returned:

wlp2s0    IEEE 802.11bgn       ESSID:off/any
               Mode: Managed    Access Point: Not-Associated    Tx-Power=14 dBm
               Retry   long limit:7    RTS thr:off    Fragment thr:off
               Encryption key:off
               Power Managment:on
lo            no wireless interface

enp4s0   no wireless interface


From this, I typed "iplink set wlp2s0 up".  Then I typed wifi-menu wlp2s0, and here is where I ran into the problem.  Insted of getting a list of wireless networks to join, like I did the first time I installed arch, I got this output:

zsh: command not found: wifi-menu

This is a very irritating problem.  At first I thought I'd just to the rest of the installation and worry about the wifi later, but when I tried to install the base system I realized that I need to be able to connect to mirrors in order to install the system.  Any help you guys could offer would be much appreciated.

Thank.
