A6150, installation in MAC OS doesn't work
I followed the procedures from Manual, downloaded software for MAC OS installation and then is asks to restart computer.
After i restart, the installation doesn't proceed any further and it keeps giving me an error, saying contact the manufacturer, which I don't know how to contact. My mac OS is Big Sur.

Exact message text? A Web search for that might lead to some useful
information.> [...] My mac OS is Big Sur.
I have no actual information, but I would not be amazed if Apple has
(again) tightened the restrictions of its macOS System Integrity
Protection (SIP), and the (old) installer now fails to comply.You could test that hypothesis:
You might find better information sooner in a more appropriate forum:

Apple likes to make life difficult for people who buy other brands of kit.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
