Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done

we bought this pc with no os and boot parrot from usb. This is the first time we install a os in this desktop

Now run in a terminal inxi -N [note the space between inxi and - ] and post back the results

Your installation is not seeing network device 2 [Wi-Fi]

This may help… WiFi adapter not recognized in Debian 11 - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

If it is a desktop computer it is likely that it does not have an integrated wifi card. You can try to open it and see if it is there, or check your motherboard model and see if it has the wifi chip inside.

If you can’t find it, buy an external wifi card.

I would kill (or at least maim) someone for your rig (j/k). But it does not come with built-in wi-fi.

If you plan on one day attempting Wi-Fi penetration testing on your own systems (monitor mode), I recommend an Alfa USB Wi-Fi adapter. Also keep in mind whether your router supports 5 GHz range.
