What issue are you having here?


A common issue is Catalina not showing available for download

running Mojave 10.14.6.—trying to download Catalina, it is not showing up as a system update

From the Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app copy and paste:


sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored


(please note your psswd will not echo on screen—type it in anyway to proceed)

relaunch System Preferences>Software update
