macOS catalina install error

I'm currently running macOS 10.14.6. When I have tried to upgrade to catalina 10.15.x, i get an error indicating that macOS version 10.15 is required. This version is not available for download. How can I get around this issue?


Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Open the App Store and search for Catalina. Use that to install the upgrade.

You are trying to use an update to install the original OS. That doesn't work. You must upgrade the OS before you can update it.
