How much free space do you have on your boot drive? If it's not at least 50 GB free up more space. You can use this free app, GrandPerspective, to find the largest files on your drive so you can determine if they can be deleted or moved to an external HD for storage.
Note: you can empty the Downloads folder after the apps and/or updates that were downloaded have been installed or applied. Some users have found a couple of Gigabytes of files in their Downloads folder which are no longer needed.
It's also best if you can maintain a minimum of about 80 GB for free space to facilitate optimal system and application performance.
