Damaged Installer error— Big Sur

Getting this error when trying to install Big Sur.

Tried redownloading from App Store, no download for this on their download site. Tried making bootable media from it, same error. Wiped drive for fresh OS install, same error. First Aid Utility on the SSD, same install.

are you using wi-fi? it's been recommended here before to use a wired internet connection to download an OS upgrade as there is too much data being passed for wi-fi to handle and the download can get corrupted.
