Why not?
How far are you able to get?
Have you downloaded the installer?

You can try running the installer from SafeBoot Mode:

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and launch the installer from the Applications folder, "Install macOS Catalina.app"
