How to install Mac OSX Yosemite on older Mac Pro

The latest OS which had a.dmg installer was 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). So, I created a new, clean, VM based off 10.8.5, then ran the MacOSPublicBetaAccessUtiility.pkg which can be found here. When I tried to install the beta on top of 10.8.5, it said the minimum requirement was Mac OS 10.9. Install Sfott: Fecth the SFOTTinstall.dmg from Main Sfott web. I have been using SFOTT Launcher 1.4.1 to install Mavericks on my 2006 MacBook Pro 17″ with new.
