Q: trying to upgrade from 10.6.8 to El Capitan 10.11

I'm having trouble getting the download for 10.9 , It seems that I end up with a download of 10.9.5 update. When I open with the installer app, I get a message Alert "this update requires OS X version 10.9". I use a iMac9,1  24" model A1225 Any help appreciated.

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Because of Sierra is released, El Capitan no longer available at App Store.

    My research says my computer can not be upgraded to Sierra because I currently run 10.6.8

    Can I upgrade directly to Seirra? What are my upgrade options and where do you recommend me to download from?

    I tried cnet, and found what I believed to be the download for 10.9, but instead encountered the problem I referred to in my first post. Please advise. Thanks.
