Installing programs on the Mac is sometimes not even necessary: you just have to copy the application to your computer. The reason for this is that the system structure works differently than with a Windows PC. There are basically two different methods - depending on the software. We describe both ways.
Method 1: Copy Mac programs to the Applications folder
- Open the downloaded or saved DMG file
- In the window that opens, you can see the application folder and the actual program.
- To install the program, all you have to do is drag and drop the icon into the application folder.
Method 2: Install programs like Windows
- Open the DMG file.
- In the window that opens you only see the icon of the program to be installed.
- Double click on the program and follow the installation wizard.
