I am having a lot of trouble trying to install Tango to use with D2 on my mac os Sierra. Is this even possible? Thanks!

I take it you're using https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2 ?

I tried it out about a year ago and it worked, but your mileage may vary. For the most part, Phobos and various Dub packages have superseded it. Tango's main benefit was that it was code that was well maintained over the course of several years, and that's no longer true.

Yeah I tried installing Tango-D2 but the installation page is throwing me off... too many steps that don't work for me.

Do you by any chance know anything that replaced std.xml?
Everything I look up on it suggests not to use it.

Is this really a problem? In this case, I can help: I recommend to use it. And only if you really will have performance problems, try something else. https://code.dlang.org/search?q=xml

It can be used as a Dub package [1]. But it will not compile with the latest version of DMD. 2.071.0 is the latest version it compiles with.
