Wifi-menu not scanning availab wifi profiles during Arch installation
Good Evening Guys..
Hello I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my new HP notebook using wifi. I have been trying for so long but the command wifi-menu is not working when I run it. Is not scanning the available networks. This is what it displays when I run it.
Usage: wifi-menu [-h | --help] [-o | --obscure] [INTERFACE]
Interactively connect to a wireless network on INTERFACE using netctl.
If only one wireless network interface is available, INTERFACE can be ommitted.
Can somebody please help if u have any idea what's the issue?
Thanks!

Maybe include the obviously incorrect command that you are running...

And, after you re-read the error message, do you see the issue?

If only one wireless network interface is available, INTERFACE can be ommitted.
In other words : If you have more then one wireless network interface, specifying the interface is mandatory.
post ip link output to verify which network interfaces your machine has.
