Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. During installation, it might restart and show a progress bar or blank screen several times. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
Stay up to date
After installing macOS Big Sur, you will be notified when updates to macOS Big Sur are available. To check for updates, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Software Update.
You downloaded the correct full installer contained in the InstallMacOSX.dmg.
When you open that to the InstallMacOSX.pkg you then open that and you see an
installation window. This is where people get confused.
The installation window does not install El Capitan, if you read the text it says it
will take 7MBs of disk space, no operating system takes up so little room, and why
would it take up only 7MBs of space when the initial download was 6.2GBs.
By running the installation you are actually creating the Install OS X El Capitan.app
in your Applications folder. Have a look.

(It is also important to note that when the installation window asks
you to select a disk, you need to select the disk you are booted up to at the time
not any other internal or external disk you want to actually install El Capitan on,
that comes later when you are ready to actually install El Capitan.)
Now that you have the Install OS X El Capitan.app in your Applications folder
you are ready to install El Capitan.
The installation will take 25-30GBs of disk space and about 15-30 minutes to install.
