[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1322458, member: 51052"] If it does not have an installer, you simply need to drag it to your Applications folder. That is the 'install'. Unix does not have a system registry, as windows does, so not every application needs an installer. Often simply executing it will work. You could, in theory, put the application anywhere on your hard drive and run it from there. The Applications directory, however, serves a nice place to put all your applications. [/QUOTE]
