Catalina update issue

I am attempting to upgrade to Catalina from High Sierra, but for the three times I've tried, I keep getting an error message that says "An unexpected error occurred while moving files to the final destination." What am I doing wrong or how can I resolve this issue so I can successfully update to Catalina?
