it probably has outdated certificates.
Then, you clicked on the folder now in here, select the image file of Mac OS X El Capitan and click on the “Open” button. Select Mac OS X El Capitan ISO file. Within this step, you’re finished with the settings. Now is the time to make a digital machine to Mac OS X El Capitan. Consequently, you have to press on Create. Once you’ve done that, here’s how to install, reinstall, or upgrade to El Capitan, step by step: Boot from your Recovery HD partition by restarting your Mac while holding down the Command+R keys. The OS X Utilities window appears. Select Reinstall OS X, and click Continue. The OS X El Capitan splash screen appears. For an OS X El Capitan installation, the file gets saved as a disk image named 'InstallMacOSX.dmg'. To install, open the disk image and run the installer named 'InstallMacOSX.pkg'.
There is no need for you to install all the OS X's to get to El Capitan you can install directly from
Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After you have installed Snow Leopard you need to update it to
version 10.6.8 from here,
And if the installation fails you should not have to erase the mac and reinstall Snow Leopard.
If you do have an operating system on your mac and it is functioning then you can download
El Capitan using this method.

Open your Safari browser and click on the link below,
Go to Download OS and click on OS X El Capitan 10.11
Install Os X El Capitan Download
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.
