install iPad OS after Catalina install?

How is iPad OS installed if iTunes is now gone? I installed Catalina first and now iTunes is gone. How do installed iPad OS?

Devices now show up in finder on Catalina. Connect your device, launch finder, and your device should appear. You can then update/restore to the .ipsw file from there, the same way as you could from iTunes.


You need to hold the option key click on update and select the ipsw.
