The most I have ever done with software is clicking the download button for something like Adobe and then clicking through the installer. I am way over my head here. I am trying to download and use PGF and TikZ on my Windows 10 system, and I've followed instructions to download MiKTeX console and added PGF, TikZ, and xcolor to the root directory. I can use MiKTeX fine, but I don't know how to create diagrams. Please advise, and please use instructions that a dim-witted five-year-old could follow. This is not my forte.

    Welcome to TeX SX! Didn't you download at least MiKTeX basic installer? – Bernard Nov 07 '18 at 20:36
  • welcome to tex.se! packages should be add to other package by use of "package" utility in MikTeX console. with this file name base will be automatically updated. in MikTeX root should be only path to your MikTeX directory and to your localtexmf. – Zarko Nov 07 '18 at 20:41
  • Welcome to TeX.SX. I don't want to discourage you, but you will have a very very hard time creating diagrams without reading and understanding some basic material. – Johannes_B Nov 08 '18 at 06:15
  • No discouragement here, Johannes_B. What material would you suggest? – Matt Nov 08 '18 at 21:41
