I purchased El Capitan through the app store a while back for my Macintosh and there is no disk. Now I need to reinstall the operating system. How can I do this? I would really like to have a clean install of my operating system.

Go to the Apple Menu App Store. And download the El Capitan installer. It will be placed in your Applications folder with the name: 'Install OS X El Capitan.app,' and it will auto launch.

• The “Install OS X El Capitan” file that you downloaded from the app store.
• An 8 gigabyte thumb (USB, flash) drive (or larger).

• Plug in your thumb drive.
• Open Disk Utilities. (Applications –> Utilities)
• Highlight your Flash Drive in the sidebar.
• Click the “erase” button at the top. (NOTE: This is going to erase your flash drive. Make sure you don’t need anything on it.)

• El Capitan Clean Install on Empty Volume with El Capitan Installer This is the easiest method for the clean install. Here, you can install the OS X El Capitan Installer onto an empty volume, or you can use a storage space that has the content which no longer needed and don’t mind removing.

Create the boot disk

• Make sure “Install OS X El Capitan” is in your applications folder. If you don’t have it you can download it again by going to the Purchases area of the App Store. Even a good connection is going to take the better part of an hour as it is over 6GB. You may want to find something to do or take a break. When it is done installing, exit from the installation prompt. If you install it now, it will do an install and delete the image disk.
• Plug in your properly formatted thumb drive (as outlined above).
• Open the terminal and type in (or just copy/paste) the command below and hit a return (enter your password when prompted).

sudo /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app --nointeraction

That’s it. Except for the waiting. I have a pretty obscene amount of RAM comparted to most people and it still took my terminal 25 minutes to finish processing. Here is what it will look like while it’s happening.

After the terminal is done, you’ll have a bootable USB. To use it, restart your computer while holding down the option key. An option to boot from the thumb drive will appear. Now you can go through the installation as normal.
