Is only the OS gone? Or did you also delete your data?


You may have to resort to Internet Recovery if your OS is truly gone:


About macOS Recovery - Apple Support


This will install the version of the OS that originally shipped with your Mac, but it can be upgraded to the current OS. If you still have data on your drive, you will want to upgrade the OS to Sierra before attempting to open anything. If you deleted your data as well, then hopefully you have a backup and can use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the backup. Again you would want to upgrade the OS before trying to open anything.


Good luck!
