I tried that more than once. It wasn't the solution.

Ultimately, I had to free up significantly more storage than specified.

Then I had to wait for the system to figure out that storage was free. Somehow that was overnight.

Then I downloaded again and it worked.

Ignore System Preferences> Software Update.

Connect your mac to your router via cable, not WiFi.

Click on this link,

Once downloaded double-click to install.

Every time I try to install the latest update it says I need to restart my computer. So I restart and go back to the update and click "install now" and it says I need to restart my computer. It's like I'm stuck in a loop.

You should maintain an absolute minimum of 10 - 15 GB of empty space at all times for the OS to function properly - realistically that means you should have at least 30 - 40 if you need to download a large update which needs about 20 to expand for the install. Your drive is not just simply storage, it contains your OS and all system files, so it needs empty space to read/write with everything you do.
