That seems like your installation is incomplete. The actual formats have not been build, which is done as the last part of the installation.<br>

<div>Hi Bob,<br>
<br>
Greetings. I have a work computer with Centos 7 installed. On the 'downloads' section (<a href="https://miktex.org/download" target="_blank">https://miktex.org/download</a>), Miktex is not available for installation on Centos 7. Though I tried to use the commands
given for Centos 8, the installation is not happening. I am aware of tex-live as an alternative but I am well acquainted with Miktex for long-time. I have even installed tex-live along with TexStudio. When I click 'Build & view', I get the following error

You'd be more likely to get a suitable response from the<br>
MikTeX support site but my advice would be to follow<br>
the suggested instructions for CentOS8. After all, the<br>
miktex.repo file has<br>
<br>
<a href="https://miktex.org/download/fedora/28/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://miktex.org/download/fedora/28/</a><br>
<br>
as the baseurl so I doubt there's anything CentOS8-specific.<br>
