Apple has just released a new beta version of OS X 10.11 El Capitan for download. Now up to beta 5, this seed surprisingly comes less than a week after beta 4 was released to developers.
Apple’s usual release schedule cycle is two weeks between each beta release. The timing of beta 5 indicates that it has likely been released to patch an emergency bug in beta 4.
If you already have a previous version of OS X El Capitan beta installed on your Mac, simply update to the latest beta 5 release directly from the Mac App Store.
If this is the first time you’re installing OS X El Capitan, you will need to download and install it from scratch from the Member Center on Apple Developer Program website.

Apple unveiled OS X El Capitan at WWDC in June. The first beta was released to developers right after the event while a public beta program was released for non-developers earlier this month.
OS X El Capitan is the successor to OS X Yosemite. The final version of El Capitan is scheduled to release this fall.
