Can't connect to a wireless network in Arch Linux netctl

Make sure you have the wpa_actiond package installed. The service you want to start is [email protected] Replacing interface with the name of your interface. Based on your question, that would be wlp6s0

    I just installed arch linux on my laptop.
    But after rebooting, I can't connect to the internet.
    Wi-fi is the only available connection to me.
    I used the command wifi-menu then after choosing my wifi and entering my passkey, I still can't connect to the internet.

    This is the error I got:

    Job for netctl@wlp6s0\x2dWifi.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wlp6s0\x2dWifi.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

    This the output after running systemctl status netctl@wlp6s0\x2dWifi.service

    netctl@wlp6s0\x2dWifi.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp6s0x2dWifi
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static
    Active: inactive (dead)
    Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)

    Please help. I tried to follow the wiki for netctl but it doesn't work. Maybe i just missed something.
