I am using Pop!_os 18.04 LTS (which is based on Ubuntu 18.04) and I am trying to get program to run which makes heavy use of LaTeX. I am using the MiKTeX package manager to install the TeX packages that the program requires. I am stuck on trying to get this package dsfont to install. According to this answer, installing texlive-fonts-extra should have fixed it. I tried using sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra and it installs correctly but the error still stands.
The same thread also explains how dstroke is the distribution package name in MiKTeX for dsfont. However, I cannot find a package named dstroke in MiKTeX. The search returns an empty list. The had suggested that a package named doublestroke was being used in TeX live for getting dstroke. So I tried searching for that in MiKTeX just in case and I was able to find it and install it. But that also did not fix the error. I cannot find any other pointer to installing this. Please help.

It is recommended that do not install TeXLive from Ubuntu repository. Get latest TexLive 2019 from CTAN repository and install it. First remove previous installed packages and MikTex.
Go to the folder which you downloaded, and run the following command:
