Hello jomomisfatty,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We recommend to restart your Mac in safe mode and see if you can complete the install. This is a step that may help. If needed, here's how to restart your Mac in safe mode:


Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode
1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login
window.
2. Log in to your Mac.
3. You might be asked to log in again.
4. On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

These steps are outlined here: Start up your Mac in safe mode


Kind regards.
