I need help to install Mac OSX to an A1181 Mac
Perhaps to look into the link for older macOS installer/downloads, would
yield clues; there are specific items ~ within the article, and their links.

Since you've hardly supplied enough information to get past square one.
Yet the path now is littered with clues. Choose wisely grasshopper!
That's a bit vague, without more exacting details..
Once you use any of the information given here
& other identifiers on your MacBook, it's possible:
• Lookup Mac Specs By Serial Number, Order, Model & EMC | everymac.com

"..Because there are 17 MacBook models that match the A1181 model number, you may
wish to lookup yours by EMC Number, Model ID, or Serial Number for greater precision."
[An idea of how wide the margins are, a First-Edition MacBook1.1 13-inch 1.83 GHz (2006)
was the first model A1181. And later, MacBook5.2 13-inch 2.13 GHz (2009) uses same vague
A1181 identifier. Better numbers in each build, model, year, Mac, are more accurate.]
First of those ran a machine specific grey label Tiger 10.4; that could be upgraded to 10.6.8.
Last of the A1181 number usage, different identifiers; EMC, & others, in hardware & software.
This last model can run El Capitan 10.11.6; uses 'downloadable installers' to upgrade.
One of the oldest macOS/OSX available to upgrade last models can be found here.
(The older Macs had machine-specific installers on DVD media; of those, some can
use the last DVD installers: Leopard 10.5.x, & Snow Leopard 10.6.x.)
