I am unable to upgrade my iMac to macOS Sonoma

my 2019 iMac Retina produces the following message while trying to upgrade to mac OS Sonoma: This copy of the Install mac OS Sonoma application is damaged , and can't be used to install mac OS"

My iMac Retina is listed as supporting mac OS Sonoma. How do I work around the message I get when I try to upgrade?

It sounds like your download was corrupted somehow. Navigate to the downloads folder, locate the update and move it to the Trash, then empty the Trash and re-try the update.
