My mac OS was trying to install an update of Sierra then displayed a message saying “mac os could not be installed on your computer” “the path appears to be missing or damaged”. I can’t get is reinstalled or started. Tried startup with command-R but nothing.

Installation of Imac OS Mac OS utilities was used to erase information on hard drive. Reinstallation of OS not completed after erasing, in the utilities window. Computer will not allow update/install of OS which I believe was/is Mojave. Have tried all startup command, option, P, R instructions and nothing works. Either a flashing ?, or spinning globe showing internet update which then results in error message and contact support image. Any ideas on how I can get this Mac working? Thanks

I’m unable to reinstall Mac OS after erasing disk! I had Monterey before I erase and now it’s making me do sierra, but it won’t get past installation. I left it overnight and woke up to an error message saying it couldn’t install. Help!
