Can't get Mojave to install

When I try to install Mojave as directed, I get the following message: This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS.

What do I do? Thank you

Delete it, empty the trash and download a fresh copy.


Slow interent download speed is one cause for corruption, out dated installer is another.
