Help - trying to set up early 2009 iMac

I was given an early 2009 iMac and figured I could set it up for my kid. However, it won't update to El Capitan and I'm stuck at that point. Did some research, figured out how to download El Capitan on my old Macbook Air (2015) and load up a bootable USB. Still running into problems even though I've gone through the process a few times. My understanding is that to use OCLP, I need to have at least El Capitan running on the imac, right? Or can I just go straight to OCLP? Not an expert... thanks for any guidance!
