Can't reinstall new macOS

I'm trying to install a new version of macOS. The only option I have is mojave. Despite that , when I click continue (the very first step in the installation wizard) it takes some time and says "the request to recovery server timed out".


Using a macbook pro 13inch, 2018 built.


The log says, Package Authoring Error,

access to path " /tmp/com.apple.pkg.testing" requires <options allow-external-scripts='true'>


and similar errors.
