[SOLVED] How can I view images in ranger

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
WM: sway (wayland)
Terminal: kitty

I installed ranger and w3m, also wrote `set preview_images true` in rc.conf, but ranger said
```
('Failed to execute w3mimdsiaplay', [])
```

Is w3m installed?  If you are using kitty, why haven't you set preview_images_method to kitty?

Thanks a lot!

Now I use python-pillow[aur] with kitty, and it works!
