[SOLVED] Problem mounting partition with NTFS filesystem with udisks2

Hey there! I have a problem I have been dealing with and I cannot find the answer to it. The thing is I have my main disk, which is a SSD with a Windows 10 partition and the Arch Linux partition, and I have an HDD for random files too. I would like to access that HDD for file sharing between these two OS, but I can't mound the NTFS partition of this HDD. I installed polkit for avoiding password prompts for root authentication, nevertheless the same error was printed before setting up polkit.
I use the command as follows for mounting a partition:

udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sda1

But the following error is printed:

Error mounting /dev/sdb4: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb4 at /run/media/carlos/885C7D095C7CF374: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

If any more info is needed just say it and I'll try to give it asap.
Thank you for your time

Woops, sorry, I didn't know it was that easy, it was then only installing that package and it now works... Thank you!
