Installing Xcode on OS X 10.9.5

Hi Guys,

I have been using mac book pro from the past two years.

my version of OS(operating system) would be OS X 10.9.5 (13F1712) .As of part of enhancing my knowledge on IOS development .I tried installing the XCODE app from apple store, but that went unsuccessful as it was throwing an dialog box with the error message as below:

Xcode can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because OS X version 10.11 or later is required.

So I started upgrading my os to the version (EL Capitan), which is the latest I guess.But even that process of upgrading went on for about 4 hours and failed.

Now my problem would be with installation of application Xcode on my MAC.

is there any other way, I can achieve that?

Please help me.
