lost Photos library in Mojave

Migrating from the old computer I lost Photos library, but It is in iCloud. How do I transfer the library to my new iMac?

You can do the following:


1 - create a new Photos library.

2 - set it to be the System Photo Library.

3 - enable iCloud Library in its preferences.

4 - do not enable "Optimized Mac storage" unless you don't have enough room to house all of the full sized image files.

5 - wait for Photos to download all of the image files, albums, projects, etc. from iCloud to your library.
