Anyone getting the issue it just bounces in the dock then stops? It shows it’s still running under force quit, but the installerGUI never loads.

I was able to get it to install via terminal. It downloaded officially from software update.

Note this is an older 2014 MacBook Air, 4 GB ram, on a 256 SSD. I suspect age of hardware may be a factor.

Either what tkimpton posted above or https://babodee.wordpress.com/2020/11/05/waiting-for-the-macos-big-sur-installer-to-launch/ could have something to do with what you're seeing.
