How do I download Mojave 10.14 and install it on an external drive?

I'm running Catalina. I'd like to download Mojave 10.14 from the App Store, so that I can install it on an external SSD.


The App Store doesn't seem to have it, neither does Apple downloads. Although, Apple downloads does have 10.14.6, but I need 10.14.


Where can I get Mojave 10.14 and how do I install it on an external SSD?


Thanks!

You would then need to create a USB Bootable Installer of Mojave, boot either Mac from that then install to the external drive connected to them.
