## based on https://github.com/lioonline/OS-X-El-Capitan
## pkg file link - http://osxapps.itunes.apple.com/apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple3/v4/74/d2/82/74d28291-9db9-7ae2-305d-9b8b3f5fd463/ftk3252456602304584541.pkg

# Run this from folder where you have downloaded or copied ftk3252456602304584541.pkg file

#create a tmp folder
mkdir elCapitanRoot && cd elCapitanRoot

#create a folder structure to match apple server
sudo mkdir -p ./apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple3/v4/74/d2/82/74d28291-9db9-7ae2-305d-9b8b3f5fd463/

#move downloaded pkg file to proper path
sudo mv ../ftk3252456602304584541.pkg ./apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple3/v4/74/d2/82/74d28291-9db9-7ae2-305d-9b8b3f5fd463/

#start a web server when you are in "elCapitanRoot" folder
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

#edit your mac's /etc/hosts file to add following line

sudo echo "127.0.0.1 	osxapps.itunes.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts

#if you are in rtCamp's office, you can try following LAN server
#sudo echo "192.168.0.2	osxapps.itunes.apple.com" >> /etc/hosts

# open "App Store" app on Mac. And run update. 
# It should download pkg file from local/LAN server

#Important - remove /etc/hosts entry when done, for "App Store" to work

AWESOME!

It's way better than Mavericks, Yosemite, or even its own early betas.

Need updated links for 10.11.4...
And updated instructions that deal with extra pfpkg file

as per https://7labs.heypub.com/tips-tricks/el-capitan-direct-download.html

I have one thing to ask here , can anybody tell how can i get direct link for other apps ? I tried Wireshark to sniff packet but no help.

I have updated with the pgk link for El Capitan 10.11.4 in my fork.

pgk itself is no longer enough! pfpkg is also needed!

I found the link for the latest version of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 but I am not sure if it is the latest version (10.11.4)
http://osxapps.itunes.apple.co...

From

http://www.mactechnews.de/foru...

Please confirm if it is the latest version (10.11.4) and Will the same method work for 10.11.4. I would appreciate your comments.

Hello Guys

Here are the top 3 system OS X

OS X 10.9.5

OS X 10.10.5

OS X 10.11.3

Original post: https://gist.github.com/16133b89c2b38b7eb197

Guys, what would that be? You can list all the OS X Apple IPSW using the command?

List Direct IPSW server
http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/15/get-list-all-ipsw-files-from-apple/

I have one problem, the server is serving files like http://localhost/apple-assets-us-std-000001%3APurple62%3Av4%3Aa3%3Aa3%3A14%3Aa3a31405-6063-cb0e-5af4-fdeb8fc39491/jze1425880974225146329.pkg

And the app store app requests
/apple-assets-us-std-000001/Purple62/v4/a3/a3/14/a3a31405-6063-cb0e-5af4-fdeb8fc39491/signed.dcr.6908747036561828369.pfpkg

There is something that i'm missing?

ok i git it working but i get this exception
Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 61137)
