I have a fresh 1 T SSD in my 2010 MacPro. Another drive in this machine is running Mojave 10.14.6. In trying to install Mojave on the new empty drive it seems I need to start out with Sierra before I can upgrade to Mojave. The PROBLEM is I can't find a fresh copy of Sierra to download. Anybody there have a solution?
So my ultimate goal was to get Mojave reinstalled on a now empty hard drive that I somehow lost for reasons still unknown to me. It was a 1TB SSD. It had Mojave on it with about 750GB of user data. What ultimately solved my problem was to reformat the drive using the Disk Utility and the Reinstall apps on the hard drive. I got to these menu items by turning off the computer and restarting it while holding down the Command and R keys until I heard a long beep. The computer then restarted brought up a new screen with three options two of which included the Disk utility and Reinstall apps. I chose to use the Disk Utility app to reformat the drive. Next I used the Reinstall app and reinstalled everything from my Time Machine backup. It took forever to reinstall everything (over 10 hours) but it worked.
So with that I will close this conversation and thank all of you who replied earlier. Thank you!

The App Store is the only place to get the installers.
Sierra to High Sierra then to Mojave
