From The Mac App Store - If You Have NOT Purchased macOS Server Or OS X Server Previously

1. Download and install macOS 11 Big Sur on a compatible computer:
• Use a different computer to the one that you currently have an earlier macOS / OS X installation on (if you have one).
• Install macOS 11 Big Sur to a spare internal storage volume (if you have one).
• Install macOS 11 Big Sur to a spare partition/volume on your boot drive (if you have one).
• Install macOS 11 Big Sur to an external storage device e.g. hard disk, SSD, or even a USB stick.
2. Once macOS 11 Big Sur is installed and you are booted from it, make sure you are connected to the internet by using a web browser to go to Apple.
3. Go to the latest version of macOS Server (5.11.1) on the Mac App Store .
4. This should open the Mac App Store application (if it doesn't click the 'View in Mac App Store' button).
5. In the Mac App Store application click the 'Buy' button.
6. Enter your Apple ID and password if you are not already signed in to the Mac App Store.
7. The macOS Server 5.11.1 software should start to download (an icon will appear in your Dock with a progress bar).
8. When the macOS Server application has downloaded it may automatically launch and ask you to continue.
9. If it does, do not click Continue yet.
10. Quit the macOS Server installer application (yes, quit it).
11. Now you can go to your older macOS / OS X installation and download/install the earlier version of macOS / OS X Server - see the instructions below.
