Hi

I tried installing miktex for over a month and I keep getting this error message because of a failed file verification missing pgfplots.

Hi,

perhaps post the exact error message here.

By the way, you could install TeX Live instead. That's developed, maintained and supported by the international TeX Users Group, and it runs on Windows. I also use it on Linux and Mac OS X (MacTeX, that is a customized version of TeX Live).

This is the exact error message

The operation could not be completed for the following reason:

The operation could not be completed because a required file failed verification.

It seems that file is damaged. Try another MiKTeX mirror site for installing over the Internet.

If you use the MikTeX package manager GUI, click "Repository", "Change repository", click "Next" and choose one.

I tried a few repositories and more or less the same error messages. I tried installing Tex live but without success as well

Texlive works perfectly. It complies very well. I am amazed I have never heard of it is years of using latex

I'm using TeX Live since many years and it's working great. I started with MiKTeX too, a long time ago. That was, when MiKTeX had a package manager, and TeX Live did not have one yet. It changed 2008. Now I run TeX Live on Linux, my Macbook, and Windows, using TeXworks as editor everywhere.

The rest of my computers are on Miktex. Wonder if I should change it to Tex live
or stay with Miktex
