Copy the .app file from the DMG and paste it into your applications folder.
-----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2021 10:36 PM To: Mac Visionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Cc: David Carlson <dgcarlson0...@gmail.com> Subject: How to Finish Opening a DMG File I can’t figure out exactly what to do with a DMG file. I know that Cmd+O opens the file, and then there’s an .app file sitting all by itself. What do I do next? Why doesn’t it automatically get dropped into my Applications folder, ready to use? And why does it put an entry on my desktop for starting it? When I try to move it to my applications folder I get complaints that there are locked items in the Trash. What is all that about? A sighted friend just said all I need to do is to drag that .app file into my applications folder. Yeah, sure. Any tips?
