Which method??? Trey the bold one if you haven't.
Start up from macOS Recovery
To start up from macOS Recovery, turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold one of the following combinations on your keyboard. Command-R is generally recommended, especially if you never installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later… How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support
Command (⌘)-R
Install the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
Option-⌘-R
Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
Shift-Option-⌘-R
Install the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
2. Decide whether to erase (format) your disk
If you need to erase your disk before installing macOS, select Disk Utility from the Utilities window, then click Continue. You probably don't need to erase, unless you're selling or giving away your Mac or have an issue that requires you to erase. Learn more about when and how to erase.
3. Install macOS
After starting up from macOS Recovery, follow these steps to install macOS:
If your Mac restarts to a setup assistant, but you're selling or giving it away, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
If you never installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4
If macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later was never installed on your Mac, macOS Recovery works differently:

It appears to me that you're trying to install the macOS on the volume named "OS X Base System". That cannot be done.
Use Disk Utility to partition the drive.
Click the View icon in the upper left corner of the Disk Utility window and choose Show All Devices. Now you should see your drive device descriptions with the drive name nested underneath.
Select the drive device you want to format.
Click the Erase tab.
Set the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the Scheme to GUID Partition Map.
Click Erase to complete the process, wiping all the data that’s currently on the drive and reformatting it for your macOS install.
The drive will be formatted HFS+, but installing macOS Mojave will change the format to APFS, assuming you’re installing on an SSD.
