Usually, you can get a program and then install it on your Mac through App Store easily. However, App Store doesn't contain all applications in the market, which means that you may not find your wanted software in it. At that time, you can download the program from its official website or the third-party online platform. Then you may find that the download is a DMG file. Be confused about what's the dmg file and how to install the program from the DMG file on your Mac? Here's the answer for you.

How to create a macOS DMG installer.It’s really simple(does anyone read descriptions anymore?). In the drop down panel set the partition scheme to GUID. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait for the Done button to activate. When it does click on it. Quit Disk Utility. Create Installer. Open the Terminal in the Utilities' folder.

What's the DMG file?

The DMG file is a kind of disk image file of macOS and mounted by macOS as it were a hard drive. It can contain application installers and is often used to distribute software over the Internet on Mac.

Install Programs from DMG Files on Mac

Open the DMG File

You can open the DMG file by double clicks or Disk Image Mounter feature (from the sub-menu of Open With) in its right-click menu. Or you can use Attach feature of iSunshare BitLocker Genius to access the DMG file.

Tips:iSunshare BitLocker Genius also has the powerful BitLocker decryption feature which can make you unlock the BitLocker drive on your Mac easily.

Drag the Program to the Applications Folder

If there is an Applications folder shortcut in the opened DMG file, you can drag the program to the shortcut directly.

If you can't find the shortcut, you need to drag the program to the Applications folder in the Finder.

After dropping the program to the Applications folder, a small box written with copying items will be shown.

When the installation is finished, you can right click the DMG file and then choose Eject option to exit it. You can also delete the DMG file by moving it to trash.

We're not targeting Mac entirely--only a small subset of users are on
the mac. We have an app that runs in ASP.NET on a Windows server and
would like to be able to serve up some files packaged together as a
dmg.
The spec for DMG is not available/public, so a custom writer is not
really feasible.
The only thing I've found is MagicISO which has a command line tool
that can create dmg's. However, they don't have a redistribution or
even volume license listed on their site so it may not be an option to
include that in an application.
Thanks,

There wouldn't be any built-in support for that. But assuming you can
manage writing the format explicitly yourself, of course .NET has the
FileStream and BinaryWriter classes that would be useful in doing that.
Of course, it begs the question: if you're targeting the Mac OS, why not
write your tool in Cocoa and run it on the Mac. But since you're here in
the C# newsgroup, I suppose you've already been through that and have
decided against it. :)
