    Please add to your question which distribution you use (texlive, miktex, mactex, ...)

You can use the package manager for that. However, I would recommend you to update to MikTeX 2.9 if possible.

enter image description here

Then you can go to the Repository Menu and select Change Repository option.

After clicking next if you wish to have it updated from internet, you would get the list of available repositories.

Note that, an available repository can be offline temporarily such that you can't download packages or update them.

  • @Vidhya That's also a possibility. You can also use the MikTeX update option to access these menus. Is there any further difficulties that I didn't understand from your comments?

  • @Vidhya You should ask that as a new question with a minimum and compilable code such that others can have a look too.

Miktek version 4.3 (20220313)

for me worked this way (ssl error 35):

deactivate proxy

try different repos, until you can see the list of packages
