Download OS without installing (for USB)

I have an old mac mini. Not sure if this is new enough to support the new macOS. I'm not ready to be updated for Snow Leopard to El Capitan again. I would like to create a USB key Installer so that maybe I can go in the future. I also have a most recent El Capitan running iMac, if it would be easier to do on the mac instead.

My question is, if I go to the App Store and select El Capitan, I guess it will download and run the installation. How to stop installation and let the OS file there to create the USB Installer?

Thank you

It does not start the installation unless indicated separately.
