Apple Support El Capitan Download

If you do have an operating system on your mac and it is functioning then you can download

El Capitan using this method.

Download the El Capitan installer and Diskmaker X. Insert an 8GB (or larger) flash drive. If you have any other data on that flash drive, back it up now, because the installer will delete. Only awesome El Capitan Wallpapers for desktop and mobile devices. THanx, I just realized I could get another download of El Capitan to make an installer. I did not realize I could download El Capitan again. So, I should make a usb installer with El Capitan, Erase my hard drive, install El Capitan then use migration assistant to restore from backup?


Go to Download OS and click on OS X El Capitan 10.11

this downloads InstallMacOSX.dmg to your Downloads folder.


The next section can only be done on a mac that is capable of running El Capitan.

This includes macs that have the potential to run El Capitan but have been upgraded to a newer OS.

A mac that came preinstalled with an OS later than El Capitan will refuse to do the next bit.


When downloaded open to InstallMacOSX.pkg, double-click on

that and an installation window will open, this does not install El Capitan

but converts the InstallMacOSX.pkg to the Install OS X El Capitan.app which

you will find in your Applications folder, it should be 6.2GBs in size.

(If the installation window asks which disk you want to install to, you must pick

the disk that you are booted to at the time. Not any internal or external disk that

you want to eventually install El Capitan on, that is for later.)


To start the installation of El Capitan double click on the Install OS X El Capitan.app.

The copy of the install app self deletes after installing El Capitan, so make sure you keep a copy of the

InstallMacOSX.dmg if you need it in future, or you could just make a copy of the Install OS X El Capitan.app

prior to installing and moving it to an external drive for safe keeping.

It is also possible to create a bootable USB installer disk using the Install OS X El Capitan.app in the Applications

folder and the createinstallmedia command in the Terminal app.
