I'm trying to use the package pgfplots, and I have successfully installed it along with the pre-requisite pgf. Whenever I compile, I get the error message "The required file ...everyshi.sty is missing", and then nothing works. I am using a Windows (64bit) computer with MikTeX 2.9 (when I installed it, I only did the basic set up). I am using TeXnicCenter as my environment. Help would be much appreciated. Thank You.

everyshi belongs to the ms bundle, which consists of several packages by Martin Schröder.
If TeX Live or MiKTeX is used, you don't need to install everyshi as single package, such as by compiling everyshi.ins or everyshi.dtx. Instead, use the package manager (tlmgr or mpm, respectively) to install the ms package provided by both distributions.

If the compiler just complains that it can't find 'everyshi.sty', how on earth (except by losing half an hour googling, as I have just discovered) are we supposed to know this means to install the

1@JamieVicary Nearly every serious TeX package can be found on the TeX archive site CTAN, I guess you know it. Simply enter "everyshi" in the search field, the package homepage shows you that it's part of the ms bundle.– Stefan Kottwitz ♦Jan 29, 2016 at 15:00

I had same problem and solved. If you use miktex just update it. Namely, just find miktex console and update. More explanations is right here https://miktex.org/howto/update-miktex
pgfplotsit should install whole bunch of packages, but I think you are doing it manually without theon-the-flyoption
