I am using Texmaker and I want to use the siunitx package in my script but the computer is giving me this error message when I get it to compile my script. Does anyone know what I should do about this? Thanks.

    You need to update your LaTeX installation. This is simple to do with tools accompanied with your LaTeX distribution, For example, if you use MiKTeX, open "MiKTeX console" and click on button "Check for Updates". Further steps are intuitive, just follow instruction in console. – Zarko May 14 '21 at 04:12
  • @Zarko I'm already using the latest version of Texmaker (5.0.4) and it still doesn't work. – Ken Ely May 14 '21 at 04:43

    Texmaker is an editor, it has nothing to to with latex itself, it just calls it. As Zarko says update your latex installation. You're most likely to have miktex, and given this issue you probably have to update miktex in miktex user mode and in miktex admin mode. – daleif May 14 '21 at 05:02
  • @daleif Would you care to explain how I would do that? – Ken Ely May 14 '21 at 05:30

    Find your miktex console, it has two modes, update both. Sorry, I cannot give more details as I don't use miktex. Otherwise look at the miktex website – daleif May 14 '21 at 05:32

    See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437/35864. If you are using MikTeX, also check out https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/108447/35864. – moewe May 14 '21 at 06:07

I received this error recently and just wanted to put the suggestions in the comments because they fixed my problem:
