El Capitan waiting for 10 hours won't load ?

Mid 2010 MAC OS X 10.6.8 processor 3.2 i3,4 GB 1333 3DDR. Trying to upgrade to El Capitan for the last 10 hrs. Only shows as waiting ? Went to Apple chat support and waited 45 minutes with no reply except to see the drop down with the two "tech" support specialists. Never received the Email with a link ?

if you attempted to DL from the app store you may need to delete the cache.


open terminal and type


open $TMPDIR../C/



then delete the com.apple.appstore folder


then download 10.11 again from the App Store
