I accidentally erased my Macintosh HD

I was given my old work MacBook Pro 2012 but I had to erase and start fresh, I followed the instructions but somehow I am left with OS X Base System and when I try to install MacOS I receive this error message.

Hi,

Resetting NVRAM could solve the issue.

If it doesn't help, try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports storage device error(VDH002, VDH004).
