I need to download the El Capitan to install on my Mac computer. What is the best place to download the El Capitan dmg or El Capitan iso.

To download El Capitan, launch the App Store app in your Applications folder (or go to Apple menu App Store). You’ll probably find El Capitan right away, especially if go to the App Store soon. If unable to use the app store how can i download the El Capitan installer? (I'm already on Capitan and want to do a clean install onto new ssd). Currently downloading in App Store - estimate is 6days and 18h. I'm sure it'll breakdown halfway through. I have a 100mbit connection and can otherwise download stuff. You can't really download the OS X El Capitan installer app without the App Store.app easily. You can download the raw (unverified) pkg installer though, but to verify it and convert it to a legit OS X Installer.app App Store.app and a newer OS X system is required again. So simply downloading it on a Windows system won't help.

Is this a good question?

I've been looking for El Capitan for weeks and today I finally managed to get it.

The Appstore no longer has OS X El Capitan available to download.

To solve this issue follow this link: http://bit.ly/ElCaptanOriginalOSX

The Appstore only has updates but not the original OS. So If you did not download El Capitan before it was removed from the App Store then you will not be able to get it from the Appstore anymore. You can now only download it via alternative sources, Just make sure they are trusted sources though. Hence I recommended the link above.

Hope this helps you also.

@Kate smith, They are illegally selling Apples software !

@katemor Its not true that App Store no longer has El Capitan as download. It does not have it as download, if your Apple-ID has never registered a machine with El Capitan. Otherwise they are still there.

And your link points to a place, which charges $20 for Apple software. Not quite legal...
