These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and people who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install it on multiple computers without having to download the installer each time.

What you need to create a bootable installer

El Capitan Clean Install on Startup Volume with El Capitan Installer. This is the most common method of the two. Usually, the clean install process deletes the contents of the destination drive. Therefore, if you choose the startup drive method to perform the clean install of El Capitan Installer, you have to follow some extra steps as well. All you need to perform the installation is a spare 8GB or larger USB thumb drive, an external drive to back up all your data to (if you have any), and a copy of OS X 10.11 El Capitan. OS X 10.11 El Capitan can be downloaded from the Mac App Store. You’ll also need to download DiskMaker X, which can be found on their official website.

• A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14 GB of available storage
• A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra or El Capitan

Download macOS

• Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra
  These will be downloaded to your Applications folder as an app called Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after download, quit it without continuing the installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. For enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software update server.
• Download: OS X El Capitan
  This will be downloaded as a disk image called InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, which has the name InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

1. Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
2. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
3. Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

After typing the command:

1. Press Return to enter the command.
2. When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
3. When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal displays the progress as the volume is being erased.
4. After the volume has been erased, you may see an alert stating that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
5. When Terminal says it's finished, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.

El Capitan Install Dvd

Hi all,
I have been trying to do a clean install of El Capitan on a friend's MacBook Pro late 2011. He has already upgraded but he is curious to see how the process goes with speech as this is his first time on Mac. We started by Command+R and Power Key and waited for sometime until the first screen appears. I remember there were five options, one is the Disk Utility. We chose this and moved to the next page to erase data on the internal HD. The usual table of HD's attached to the Mac appear and we selected the one El Capitan is installed on. There has been no erase button, just a page with details about the selected HD. In the Toolbar we found the Erase button and by selecting this we got the message that it can not be erased. I googled for that and found that there are those who faced the same problem and there has been no solution except making sure that there is nothing running while trying to do the clean installation. Could it be VO that prevents us from initialising the installation?? To make sure that we were not doing it the wrong way, I tried with my own Mac Air 2015 and that was different as the erase button in my case was already dimmed. Again, I googled for this and the same recommendation was there to insist on having no processes are to be running while trying to wipe data off on HD. Anyone has suggestion, please?
Thanks.
