Installing Arch ARM on UTM VM MacOS

[pale ridge]

I believe I am booted into a live image. trying to continue with the normal arch install steps, by setting up my networking.

I try both iwctl and iwd and get "no command found" for both. Is that normal?

I also am not 100% sure if I am booted into a live image, or if I am booted into a pre-setup arch environment. Is there a way for me to easily check?

a reddit post seems to suggest that it is a pre-installed environment, not a live image, so I can skip all the Arch install steps https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/ugirt2/arch_on_utm/

is there a command I can run to test

I just clicked "open in UTM" on this site

https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/archlinux-arm

which downloaded the VM

this is what I saw when I booted into the VM initially

if any of that makes it obvious, whether this is an ISO image or a pre-setup environment

cool, how did you know?

for my own knowledge

ohk

so, can I skip all the arch wiki install steps, and jump straight to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide#Post-installation Post-installation?
