Installing MacOS

Can’t reinstall software on Mac Pro 2015. Mac displays “Can’t connect to recovery server error”. Computer has internet connection, tried Wi-fi and connecting to cellular data via cable but issue persists. Restarting didn’t help, downloaded software onto flash drive but couldn’t install it - same error.

Like many others, I ran into the dreaded “The recovery server could not be contacted” message when trying to do a restore of Mac OS High Sierra for a 2010 13 inch MBP that I was selling (yes I know it’s worth almost nothing, but someone wanted to buy it from me)…
