Try the Following:

A. Go to App Store:

Try getting it directly on the App Store.

Go Here: macOS Big Sur - App Store

Or...

B. Create a New Admin:

Create a new administrator, and install it from that user.

Or...

C. Try in Safe Mode:

See if you can perform this using Safe Mode. Go Here: Start up your Mac in Safe Mode - Apple Support
