A friend of mine installed dmd on OSX and recorded his experiences:

I wonder why he had to do manual work like running xattr. Is that expected on OSX?

Thank you,
Ali

Works for me (os x 10.10). Don't know why he'd be getting that problem.

Same here, 10.10.

Maybe his install is borked somewhere inside.

Huh? I just downloaded the dmg, double clicked the pkg file, and it installed. I may have had to relax security to do it.

Looks like they're now requiring that apps be signed with the developer's account, which I'm guessing the dmd dmg isn't:

Downloading the zip is still the most simple and easy way, IMHO...
Not a single problem on 10.10...

It is blocked initially as it's not from an "identified developer", but going to security options gives you a one-time opt-out to let it through. Alternatively, you can permanantly reduce your security settings. That's just how OS X works these days.
