FYI: El Capitan was released today, making Yosemite the new "previous
release". While these instructions probably work for El Capitan as well,
I advise you to stick with Yosemite for your client's machine, since a
lot of stuff is changing in El Capitan that could effect software
compatibility for third-party apps. Not much at all broke going from
Mountain Lion to Yosemite in comparison.
