MacOS Big Sur

Installation failed

An error occurred while installing the selected updates

When I try to install it just keeps coming up with the same message, does anybody know how I can sort the error message out so that I can download.

The update servers are overloaded. You’ll have to wait a few days.

The servers are being slammed. You will have to try again later.
