High Sierra update error: The Recovery Server could not be contacted.

I am using a MacBook Pro Touch Bar 13" running in MacOS Sierra. Can't seem to go through with the update and I have this error message, 'The recovery server could not be contacted.'

Tried restarting but still with no luck. Internet is working fine. Anyone having the same problem? Suggestions would be highly appreciated.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, iOS 10.3.3

Guys - this fix works. Notice time needs to be set in UTC. A quick google search of "what is current utc time" will give you the time you need to enter into the terminal. I has issues installing because I was setting my computer to local time (6pm). As soon as I set to UTC (10pm) it worked the first try.
