LateX on Mac: Texmaker can't find installed package

I have a Mac and just installed LaTeX and the editor Texmaker. To use the Arial font I installed it via MiKTeX Console. I also found out that by doing so, the files for the installed packages lay here:

"/Users/Mirko/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/install/tex/latex"

My problem is that the Editor (TeXMaker) still doesn't find the Arial-Font.

Here is my Code:

\documentclass[pdftex,openany,11pt,twoside,a4dutch]{report}


\usepackage{uarial}
\usepackage{csquotes} 

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}   
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}        
\usepackage{csquotes} % Setzen von Anführungsstrichen

\begin{document}

This is a test.

\end{document}

and here is the Error:

! LaTeX Error: File `uarial.sty' not found.Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)Enter file name:! Emergency stop.<read > \usepackage

But the folder arial and the file arial.sty are in the above mentioned folder.

In the MikTeX-Console I already entered the folder to Directories > Settings

I thankful for every help!

Thanks and greetings!

Here is the log-file from TexMaker:

As you can see from the first line of the log file

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019)

texmaker is not using the miktex distribution for which you installed the uarial package, but a texlive distribution which seems to be also installed on your computer. In the long run it would be best to only have a single tex distribution on your computer to avoid such problems. For mac I would suggest to keep the texlive distribution and get rid of miktex, because texlive is used by most mac users and therefore well tested compared to miktex for mac.

Now you could force texmaker to use your miktex installation by modifying the texmaker preferences, but the easier way to use Arial in your document is to switch from pdflatex to xelatex or lualatex and directly use the arial font installed on your computer

% !TeX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass[openany,11pt,twoside,a4dutch]{report} 
\usepackage{fontspec} 
\setmainfont{Arial} 
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage{csquotes}

This is a test.
