macOS Sierra downloaded but no prompts to install.

Was able to download macOS Sierra, but did not get a prompt to install it. Mac App Store says it's downloaded but nothing further happens. Ideas?

iMac, iOS 10

The installer is added into you applications folder, look in the and run the installer. From memory I think it's called something like "Install mac os Sierra", once installed it will delete itself.

Hi,

I'm on 10.8.5 and followed the steps of upgrading to OSX Sierra , looks like it downloaded , restarted the machine, installed the firmware but still showing 10.8.5. When i check for updates, it says no updates available.

I looked in the applications folder, and it's not there.

Any hope?

Thank you very much for your time

Patrick Frizarim.
