This Item Is Temporarily Unavailable El Capitan Reinstall

I have an older, MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) that I intend to give as a gift.

For security reasons, I decided that I was a good to format the drive and reinstall OS X El Capitan.

My first effort was thwarted by an error:

This Item Is Temporarily Unavailable El Capitan Reinstall

I'm trying to reinstall OS X (Lion, or higher — which version doesn't matter to me right now) on a Macbook Air, 11-inch, Late 2010 model. The machine came with OS X Lion pre-installed, and has been upgraded up to El Capitan while I used it. I recently decided to give the MBA away. Back Up Your Files! Okay, so you may have a lot of files that you want to get rid of, but you definitely. Here is how to reset OX X Capitan to Factory settings your Mac (MacBook Pro, Retina, Air, iMac, Mac Pro & Mac Mini). This item is temporarily unavailable.Try again later. After reading Wiped drive, now can’t reinstall El Capitan from Recovery because the “item is temporarily unavailable”, I supplied a different set of icloud credentials, and the process continued. Eventually, however, the. I enter it and then it says 'this item is temporarily unavailable' with an App store logo next it. I have created a USB with El Capitan on it and an SD card with EL Capitan on it. I cannot make it bootable in the terminal though bcuz when I try to type in the code to make it bootable it always says the command is not found.

After reading Wiped drive, now can’t reinstall El Capitan from Recovery because the “item is temporarily unavailable”, I supplied a different set of icloud credentials, and the process continued.

Eventually, however, the installation failed with a different message:

No packages were eligible for install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Quit the installed to restart your computer and try again.

I tried using 'Internet Recovery' (Option+Command+R) and a bootable USB drive that contained El Capitan, both of which ultimately failed with the same message.

Is there a way to get this to work?

To create a bootable USB drive, I needed the Install OS X El Capitan.app package.

Using my MBP 16', I used the Download OS X El Capitan link on Apple's support site to get the installer.

Unfortunately, running the InstallMacOSX.pkg package in the DMG failed:

This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer.

I 'found' a Install OS X El Capitan.app package and was able to create the bootable media.
