You need to double-click the .dmg file to mount it. Then you need to double-click the single file on the mounted .dmg volume which will "install" or rather copy the El Capitan installer to the "Applications" folder. Once this is complete, then you can run the Terminal commands to create the USB installer.

Here are the instructions in an Apple article:

My imac(2009 earlier version) troubled once. I reinstalled with the combined button "shift+option+command+P+R. It was very hard work. So I intended to make a booting usb disk. I downed ELCapitan install file "InstallMacOSX.dmg" from apple support.

In terminal window I ordered "sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app."

But " command not found" response was appeared. Does anyone give me answer?
