How to install OS X 10.11.4 "El Capitan" Public Beta

To install the first Public Beta build of OS X 10.11.4 "El Capitan," you must to go to the Apple Beta Software Program website, sign in with the Apple ID that you're using right now on your Mac, read all the information posted there about how unstable a Beta release is, and that you need to back up all your files.

You'll be automatically redirected to another page, where you must follow the steps to install OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan. Basically, you need to click on the blue "Download the OS X El Capitan Public Beta" button.
The installation will continue via the Mac App Store application, which will automatically activate your unique redemption code so you can install OS X 10.11.4 Public Beta. The installer will begin to download in the background, but please note that it has over 6GB in size, which means that it might take a while if you have a slow Internet connection.
When the download progress gets to 100%, the El Capitan installer will open, and all you have to do to upgrade is follow the instructions on the installation wizard. Your Mac will restart in order for the update to be applied. When new Public Beta builds are released by Apple to the public, you will get them automatically via the Mac App Store.
