"errichten" is very straight forward. Something is constructed, be it building, fence, any kind of structure really (it is not used with cars, machines etc. though. Things that are "errichtet" are generally static, physical objects)
"aufstellen" generally refers to "place in an upright/vertical position". It refers to anything that fulfills this prerequirement, like fences, poles (flags/etc./...)
It also means "to stand in a certain formation" (military/etc.) as well as "to conscript/muster" (troops/armies)
"einrichten" mostly means "to set up", something that already exists is equipped with something. This could be a room with furniture or an operating system with additional programmes or tools.
"sich einrichten" means something like "grow accustomed to ...."

I used the translator, and all of the words above show the same meaning “to establish”. That is the reason why i’m very confused 🥴
@Halala thank you so so much!!!! 🥺☺️

@Hanah02 All of those words could be translated as "establish" in a certain context:
errichten: could be used to refer to an empire (one of the few incidents it would actually work without something non tangible), to build/establish
"Regeln aufstellen": to establish/implement rules
"einrichten": can't think of a proper example from the top of my head
Keep in mind that my explanations do not cover any meaning of those words, and there are exceptions to my explanations.
