In your Mac/existing Hackintosh/virtual machine running Mac OS X, open the Mac App Store app and download the latest version of OS X El Capitan. Be sure to download the newest version 8 of Multibeast, not any of the older versions. Multibeast: Multibeast is a collection of kext files and software fixes that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation.You can reuse this USB drive for normal stuff after you finish installing El Capitan.

Since Unibeast will erase all of the files on your USB drive, make sure to back up its contents first.

An empty USB drive (8 GB or larger): The USB drive used for Unibeast must be at least 8 GB in size.

Though the Mac App Store is included in Mac OS X 10.6.6 and newer, you have to be running at least 10.6.8 to download El Capitan. OS X El Capitan: The method used by this guide requires that you download a free copy of the El Capitan installer app from the Mac App Store.

Be sure to install the Virtualbox Extension Pack to view USB drives from your virtual machine. Alternatively, you could install Yosemite on a virtual machine, and run Unibeast on there instead. You could use a real Mac or existing Hackintosh with OS X already installed, if you own one.

A real Mac/existing Hackintosh/OS X virtual machine: Unibeast is a Mac app, so you need a computer with Mac OS X to run it.

Unibeast works with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer registration on is required to download Unibeast (be sure to download the newest version). You can then use this Unibeast USB drive to run the El Capitan installer on a PC.

Unibeast : Unibeast is a free Mac program that modifies the official OS X El Capitan installer, and writes it onto a USB drive.

Unibeast will not usually work on a hard drive where Windows was installed first, although you can often bypass this requirement by applying the MBR patch to Unibeast (the process for El Capitan is the same as for Mountain Lion).

A separate hard drive: Mac OS X needs its own hard drive (a minimum of 10 GB of space is required, but at least 50 GB of space is recommended).

If your computer already has OS X Yosemite installed, Unibeast will just update Yosemite to El Capitan normally, without deleting any of your apps or files. The hardware requirements for OS X El Capitan are identical to those for OS X Yosemite AMD processors and older 32-bit Intel processors (such as Pentium M) are not supported. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies.

A compatible computer: Not every computer will work with Mac OS X, even with the help of tools like Unibeast.

This guide will follow tonymacx86's standard Unibeast method, except that we try to cover the process with more detail (and pictures!). Installing El Capitan on a PC is slightly different from installing Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), due to new developments in Hackintoshing tools. Right now, the newest iteration of OS X is 10.11, known as El Capitan. If you're interested in running Mac OS X, but you don't want to pay ridiculous prices for a normal Mac, then a Hackintosh just might be for you.
