Question

lastpage.sty file not found, datime2.sty not found

It's better to update your LaTeX setup, hence these are common packages... — MadyYuvi, Sep 19, 2019 at 15:09
Any particular reason why you are using miktex on a MacBook air and not MacTeX? — daleif, Sep 19, 2019 at 15:11
well since i installed mik on my winpc idid the same on the mac --no particular reason than standardisation across the two platforms--any advantage of mak over mik — js bibra, Sep 19, 2019 at 15:59
i found texmaker to be working well with miktex--any other better text editor to install with maktex — js bibra, Sep 19, 2019 at 16:02
MacTeX has the advantage that it installs everything by default. MikTeX only installs a subset and relies on its install-on-the-fly feature for packages not already installed. Depending on the setup this install-on-the-fly may or may not word. It normally give you a popup asking if it should insall the package. But in some circumstances editors block this and you'll never notice unless you look through the log file. — daleif, Sep 20, 2019 at 11:50

Below one probable cause and the remedy.

After fresh installation of texlive the directory 'lastpage' has been installed (I do not know why?) in '/usr/local/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/'. Invocation of 'texhash', quite obviously has lead to no improvement.
Next, I have copied the directory 'lastpage' from this location to correct location '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/', using administrator privileges (sudo or su for Linux).
Invocation of 'texhash' has completed the procedure.

But the OP is not using TeX Live. And those are not the correct places for Macs anyway.
