Did you run the terminal commands?
What do the folks at http://b00merang.weebly.com/os-x-el-capitan.html say?

Debian+mate = I haz a toaster.
How about not making me beat the info out of you?

What version of Debian (jessie, wheezy) stable, or testing?
Did you check for Requirements?

Why doesn't "I can't use OS X el capitan theme" mean anything?

I tried this theme and it gave me some problems (at least I think it did). I posted about it here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175578924/ --> see post #3.

I run XFCE and I used the command and installed what it recommended, and while there were some minor changes, I never got the full effect of the theme correct. Plus I noticed it (or something I did) messed up the look of Firefox. I recovered that eventually, and got rid of the theme.

The problem I had may be more with myself than with the theme, as I never seem to be able to get themes to look like the screenshots that accompany them suggest they're supposed to look like. But regardless, I recommend not wasting time with that theme (or any theme, for that matter).
