Update your system to at least 10.6.6, and then get Lion from the Mac App Store.

Hi ..


When you upgarde to Snow Leopard, that will install the App Store for you. Minimum requirements for the App Store is Mac OS X v10.6.6 as noted here > About the Mac App Store


Before purchasing Lion, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requriements.


  • Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
  • 2GB of memory
  • OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
  • 7GB of available spare
