Hi, So, if the Drag & Drop worked, then you should be able to close the window you're in. Then, press cmd-shift-a which will open the Applications folder. Once in the Applications folder, navigate through until you locate the app that you drug over. If it is there, land on it, then press cmd-o to Open it. That should complete the installation process. Any dialogs necessary for the install will display and you'll be done.
If the app is not present in your Applications folder, then the Drag & Drop must not have worked. So, in this case, re-open the window where the app was originally, navigate to it, press cmd-c to Copy, press cmd-shift-a to open the Applications folder and press cmd-v to Paste the app into the Applications folder. You can then do as mentioned above to open and complete the installation. Later...
