Q: Command not found.
I'm trying to create a bootable USB stick - I've already formatted it and copied the OSX Installer to it. But I'm failing at Unix 101 with my path...
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
The name of my USB is called - ElCapInstaller

You only need to format the USB thumb drive to OS X Extended (Journaled) with the GUID partition scheme and a name of MyVolume. Do not put the Install OS X El Capitan.app file on the thumb drive.
Then use the sudo command to create your installer. The Terminal command you show is correct. So, make sure you have the Install OS X El Capitan.app file in your /Applications folder and your USB thumb drive partition is named MyVolume because the command will use those paths. See below in BOLD. The command is looking for your source file in Applications and your destination as MyVolume.
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app
