1. Boot from the arch iso.
2. Use "iwctl" to connect to your wireless network, it should be included in the Arch iso.
3. After you have a working network connection chroot into your installation.
4. Then install NetworkManager or another Network Manager of your choice.

If iwctl is not in the Arch iso, you can also try using "nmcli" and if that isn't available you can always plugin a network cable.

if i install networkmanager will that be there after the installation of arch is complete?

Yes but you have to enable it to start at boot.

systemctl enable NetworkManager
