In the software update I get this message --

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
Catalina not available for download
running Mohave 10.14.6.—trying to download Catalina, it is not showing up as a system update
From the Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app copy and paste:
sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
(please note your psswd will not echo on screen—type it in anyway to proceed)
relaunch System Preferences>Software update

Thank you. Now I can see the update/upgrade in my system preferences.
But when I try to update, it downloads about 500MB, and I get this message.
I tried a few times and restarted computer.
The request timed out.
An error occurred while installing the selected updates.

time outs typically occur on Networks that have a slow download speed. You can try from a faster Network.
Delete and empty the trash any partial download. Try again
If you end up with a stub installer—launching this should download and launch the full installer. You can always quit the full installer, command Q or quit like any other app.
It will then be sitting in your Applications folder. "Install macOS Catalina.app"
See if this solution by anne_thomas126 works…
Go to system preferences> Network> Advanced settings>Proxies
Untick SOCKS Proxy.
Save changes.
Try again :)
Run this command in the Terminal then reopen System Preferences > Software Update.
sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
That worked.
THANK YOU.
You're welcome.
Can't update to Catalina
