MacBook Air reinstall macOS

Hello,

I am giving my MacBook Air i5 13” 2017 away to my friend. I have attempted to erase everything that is stored on it following the instructions, however when trying to reinstall macOS on recovery mode I am met with a message displaying ‘The installer on the recovery server is damaged’. Looking for solutions I tried every type of recovery. When attempting an internet recovery it will load up with the timer and eventually an error code ‘-5101F’ will appear resulting in any loading to stop. I am now stuck on what to try from here, any help?
