The first two examples in the nmcli-examples(7) manual page show you how
to list the available access points and establish a connection.
nmcli device wifi list
lists the available access points, then
nmcli device wifi connect SSID password PASSWORD
where SSID and PASSWORD should be replaced by the appropriate values.
An advantage of NetworkManager over some of the older approaches is that
it can automatically connect to a configured wired or wireless network
depending on what is available at the time.

for NetworkManager, I find nmtui easier even in the terminal. You run
nmtui then move around with arrows and hit enter for your selections and
once a network is connected it'll have an asterisk character next to it.
Once that happens find the back selection on each network line and hit
that then downarrow to quit and hit that and you're live.
I'm starting to work with iwd here and will make some braille notes on
that in not too distant future.

The only thing I'm unable to figure out, that wasn't mentioned as part of
the installation process, is connecting to wifi.
Has anyone done that successfully and might be willing to assist?
Find out what packages are installed or available for installation that can
configure the wireless interface. NetworkManager is a common option, but there
is also iwd, and, recently, systemd-networkd.
You should be able to add details of your wireless access point (SSID,
encryption password, etc.) by editing a configuration file or by running a
command in the terminal.
What you need to do exactly depends on the software you have installed or plan
to install. For NetworkManager, nmcli can easily be used to connect to a
wireless access point.
In general, good resources can be found online. The Arch Wiki is usually
valuable, even if you aren't running Arch Linux.
