I tried to do a clean install on my Macbook Air but got an error about payload blah blah blah. So tried to download it again from my Mac.

I go to the appstore but the only option is to install there is no download option.

How can I get a new download so that i can get my Macbook back up and running?
 
Try and hit the install button anyway. It should start downloading, and when you're asked to install the OS, you can just quit the "Install window". After that is done, you can make a bootable USB for your Macbook Air.
 
Thanks,

I sorted it out with a reboot.
