Where can I find the Mojave installer?
The installer isn't in the App store that I can find. Is it somewhere else?

The link to install MojaveOS on the App Store results in a message that "This copy of the install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can't be used to install MacOS." Is there anywhere else to get the Mojave install file?
Delete any old "Install macOS Mojave..." installer from /Applications. Uninstall any "cleaners", virus apps, VPN etc malware. Reboot the router. Safe-boot and try again preferably via Ethernet or at least keep household's other Wi-Fi traffic to the minimum.
The installer is actually at the link that is in the Related Article above.
Be sure to use the Safari browser to download it, not Firefox or other browser as they may not work properly.
Thanks. I have just spent 45 minutes on the phone with Apple support and they couldn't figure it out. The key is it will only work with Safari, nothing else.
Yep.
Glad to know you sorted it out. 🙂👍🏽
Thanks. Deleting the old install application solved it. Strange that their error message just says the file is damaged instead of suggesting deleting old install files.
Where can I find the Mojave installer?
