    Which version of macOS do you have? You must have macOS 12 or later; otherwise, you can't run Microsoft Office. See https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2023/03/most-recent-office-you-can-run-best-practices/ .

    I have MacOs Tahoe 26.6 running on MacBook Air.

    Thanks for the follow-up. Which specific Microsoft Office product is provided by your educational institution? Double-check that you have a version that lets you install the Office apps locally on your computer.
