Where To Download El Capitan Installer App UPD

I'm trying to install El Capitan on the SSD, which is connected via USB. I would like to run the installer as per normal and select the connected SSD when prompted on which on disk to install on. I have successfully done this method before with my MacMini when upgrading it's drive to an SSD.

I downloaded a new and official version of El Capitan from the Apple support page, but once downloaded, it doesn't create the 'OSX El Capitan.app' in my Applications folder. If I run the downloaded 'InstallMacOSX.dmg' is opens up to reveal the 'InstallMacOSX.pkg' file. When running that it takes me through to an installer, but the file size is only 7MB, so obviously not the OS.

But seriously, would it kill Apple (and for that matter any/all installer app makers) to have a version file somewhere and to display during the install on a corner of the screen exactly what version/build is being installed?

What is surprising about this, is that during the El Capitan installation, the agreement screen and the setup screen, they all say OS X El Capitan, and I did this multiple times to confirm I wasn't making a mistake. How can this be the Yosemite recover partition or some "renamed" Yosemite install if everything I am looking at clearly says "El Capitan" 10.11 during the install? The only thing I am suspecting is that "El Capitan" package contains a copy of Yosemite built-in as some form of fall-back mechanism for certain devices that are incompatible with El Capitan, and for some odd reason, maybe a bug in the installation, this El Capitan package is reverting to Yosemite. That's only my speculation from knowing how Apple can sometimes pull "secret weapons" out of nowhere. LOL

@Frustr-As-Hell see if this helps. I have an 8 GB USB flash drive named ElCapitanInstaller that I will be turning into the installer. The drive is formatted with a GUID Partition Map as an OS X Extended and Journaled file system and plugged into the computer I'm using to make the installer USB. In the Applications folder on that computer I have the Install OS X El Capitan application downloaded from the Mac App Store. Now that I have all those conditions met, if I run the command below it should create the installer on the USB drive labeled ElCapitanInstaller.

parameter which is the path to the OS X El Capitan installer that was downloaded from the Mac App Store. The --nointeraction switch is simply telling the createinstallmedia binary to not require any interaction in the terminal when running the command. Does this explanation help and allow you to make the USB installer media?

I have downloaded the El Capitan DMG file (InstallMacOSX.dmg) provided by Apple. The expanded DMG image contains the package "InstallMacOSX.pkg" which should be run to create the El Capitan installer but fails with the following message: This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer. (from the OS X Installer) That happens presumably because, quite reasonably, it would not make sense to install on top of a later version of the OS. However, in this case, I want to create a boot USB drive for an installation on another Mac.

The first alternative answer involves using a virtual machine. This answer is must less of a complex, because Apple explicitly inserted code into the El Capitan installer to bypass the checking of the model when executed in a "VMware Fusion Player" virtual machine. So, Apple evidently intends for users of newer model Intel Macs to use this new answer to retrieve the Install OS X El Capitan application. Still, I would like know from Apple why they thought such a complex procedure is necessary.

(Optional) At this point, You can insert a 8 GB or larger flash drive in a USB port on the host. When a popup similar to the one shown below appears, select Connect to the VM, then skip to the last step and use the client to create a bootable installer for macOS.

This answer assumes you want the El Capitan USB installer to install El Capitan on an older Mac capable of running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). In this case, you can solve the problem by using the older Mac to create the El Capitan USB installer.

So, I did the dumb, I erased the HDD on an '09 iMac (El Capitan) without verifying that the third-party-created thumbdrive installer (DiskCreatorX) actually worked as a bootable drive on the machine. Turns out it didn't, and then I ruined it anyway by trying to change the partition size/filesystem type from 64 GB OS X Journaled to ExFAT 12 GB (I'm not sure why on earth I thought that would work and not erase the partition.. duh).

So... How do I create an OS X El Capitan installation media from an iMac running MacOS Monterey? The new iMac won't run the El-Cap installer package inside the .dmg because of machine incompatibility. I'm sure there has to be some little-documented way of actually accomplishing this... (also feel free to throw a virtual tomato at me for being dumb.)

InstallESD.dmg contains another disk image, BaseSystem.dmg, which is a bootable installer disk. But writing it directly to the USB drive does not work, because that would create a partition with almost no free space and still lacking some important files.

This works! I used it for making a usb from El Capitan installer, using the InstallESD.dmg that you find inside the InsallMacOSX.dmg.There is no need to try using the script, as it works with the list of commands on the read me file. so This:

under i just paste my terminal history that gave me a working usb drive.thanks all of the above for pointing into the right direction!starts with "sudo su"i already extracted from the installer the file InstallESD and is sitting in the working directory

After hours of trial and error, I was finally able to install OSX 10.11 "El Capitan" on my used iMac (mid 2009)!I tried to use the internet installer that came with it, but it would not work without signing into the original owner's AppleID (even though I specifically went into iTunes to "De-Authorize this computer" before wiping the original installation)

However, the sha1 hash did match any of the values at: -installer-checksums#mac-osx-installers-sha1-checksums6198647687 bytes, openssl sha1 InstallESD.dmg --> 732f873cbcf38d9e544e659d2429bd4444416cdaI am pretty sure the file is legit (since I downloaded it directly from Apple Support), so I edited the "mkosxinstallusb.sh" script and added it to the approved list--> see the line starting with "supported_checksums="...", and just added it to the end before the last closing quote)Also, make sure your USB thumb drive is completely empty before you start the script. In my case, I actually plugged it into the mac and formatted it with Disk Utility to "OS X Extended (Journaled)" (GUID Partition table) before I started. (I had tried it once before with a partially occupied USB drive, and it ran out of space before it could finish). I am not sure how much difference it made to format it withDisk Utility, but that is what worked for me!I then ran "sudo bash mkosxinstallusb.sh /dev/sdX "InstallESD.dmg", and the script took care of the rest.Finally, I could boot up the Mac while holding "option/alt" and my USB drive appeared as a bootable device! 17 minutes later I can startup OSX!

I may go ahead and re-download the installer and create a new bootable USB using "createinstallmedia", just in case there was a problem with the image I used, but at least now I can boot up the computer!

I am trying to set up a bootable installer for a 2007 iMac, and to do so need to be able to store the El Capitan installer in my applications, as an application file. I am doing this on a 2020 MacBook Pro 13".

I assume this is because my MacBook thinks I want to install El Capitan onto it as an OS (which I don't), I just want to install the application file so I can use it to create the bootable installer on an external usb.

Thanks bandit, but the El Capitan installer download is no longer available in the App Store. The only thing I could find is a download of a disk image that contains a package you need to run to create the installer app. The problem is when I try opening the package I get an error message saying El Capitan cannot run on this computer.

As Narcinems noted, I change the date, download the installer and get as far as the screen to start installation, whereupon I get an error message that tells me to start all over again - and when I do I get the same issue. The only way to bypass that error is to set the date to today's date and I did try a couple of suggested dates from 2016 through 2018. So, still stuck with a laptop that was working that is now imitating a brick.

I have this same problem as well. Tried everything mentioned under this topic. No progress. When I change the system date and try to download the installer I get an error message that tells me to try running the installer again. I can only get by this error by setting the date to current date and time. When I download the installer, I get the same error message

I might ask if anyone knows how I can run the installer manually - from the command line I can cd to /Volumes and see my main hard drive and the downloaded dmg file "Install OS X El Capitan" . If I could run the installer from the downloaded file, I'd saver about 2 hours for these tests and not download that installer file over and over. e24fc04721
