Install Big Sur iOS

My MacBook has a very small hard drive (120GB) and when I try to install the new Big Sur iOS I do not have enough disk space. Can I install the iOS onto my MacBook if I have the iOS update files downloaded to a connected USB hard drive?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

NOTE: Big Sur is not an iOS, it's a macOS.

iOS is for iPhones and iPads.
