How to download iwork apps (keynote,pages,numbers) but not to update mac to Catalina

Current macos version of my macbook is High sierra and I do not want to update to Catalina. But when I try to download keynote or pages from the app store a notification became that I have to update to version 10.14 or higher.

Everyting is ok with other apps except iwork apps.


What is a logical way to do? Go to torrent to find the old version of there apps?


MacBook, macOS 10.13

If you are on High Sierra, you cannot download the current (2019-12-25) Pages, Numbers, or Keynote from the Mac App Store as they require macOS Mojave, or Catalina installed beforehand. Your Early-2016 MacBook can upgrade to Mojave, and solve the first sentence dilemma.


Downloading an Apple application from a Torrent site is not only illegal and a violation of Apple's licensing agreement, but someone else's Apple ID is associated with those applications, and then there is the very real possibility that they are vectors for malware. You don't need that headache.
