That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).
Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.
When I got a macbook from work I was honestly choked at how awful things were.
Even the simplest of tasks required googling. It was so very unintuitive.
I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?
Even to this day, I totally avoid using it.
Ah yes, the notoriously unintuitive feature known as… drag and drop.
Err, why couldn’t they do the double click like everything else?
Double click and then do a drag and drop, totally intuitive.
