Cannot install yay: connection refused

[celest citrus]

i was following this guide: https://gist.github.com/mjkstra/96ce7a5689d753e7a6bdd92cdc169bae#fstab
when i first rebooted and logged into arch, iwctl wasnt installed so i went back, chrooted into my root directory and installed iwctl
then i went back to to my arch installation and attempted to install yay and i see this

the Arch Linux community does not offer support for the information contained in third party guides; for installation procedures, the Installation guide is the only officially supported document. The content in the third party guides may be out of date or inaccurate

guh

[fringe seal]

there is no way a third party guide is exactly the same as the wiki. There are several decision points when one install in accordance with the wiki. At its extreme best, a third party guide might represent one correct installation based upon one set of decisions for a particular machine at the time the guide was made.

the installation guide doesnt cover installing yay i think

[kindred badge]

the guide seems to tell you to install networkmanager

make sure youre connected to the internet with nmtui

[celest citrus]

oh

that makes sense

i connected with iwctl

once done that, make sure you can connect to the sites needed using ping

if not, make sure your connection is set up properly, networkmanager comes with a dhcp client, but it may not be set up by default on some networks or systems

[celest citrus]

ok ill try that

[kindred badge]

in nmtui, you can edit your connection to provide your ip address, gateway, dns, etc or see if your device can use dhcp which it should be able to

if it still can not connect, try restarting your router

by design

the error is connection refused which doesnt exactly help, but look out for other http codes like 503 or 404

aur helpers are not supported on arch

[celest citrus]

uh

[kindred badge]

i dont suggest showing an ssid list id blur that out

but also try again

make sure your connection is stable

[celest citrus]

i just did

[kindred badge]

maybe remove some obstructions between you and your router

[celest citrus]

it said the same thing

then it returned this

i clicked the wrong thing bruh

wait but ping works???

@celest citrus start over

and read this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

[celest citrus]
