If you see anything else, like for example, a window containing garbage as in the picture to the left, your Mac does not recognize DMG files as mountable disk images. Fortunately, the fix is simple. Right-click or Ctrl-click the Terrapin Logo disk image file, and select “Open With…”. This opens a second pop-up menu that tells you which program your Mac uses to open DMG files. The first line of this second menu displays the program that your Mac uses to open DMG files. In this example, it is the TextEdit program, which is wrong:

Please select the entry “DiskImageMounter (default)”, which is the correct entry. Now, a double-click should open your downloaded file correctly. Please re-check the second menu that its first line correctly displays “DiskImageMounter (default)”:

Now, please drag the Terrapin Logo icon to the right and drop it on the Applications icon. This copies Terrapin Logo into your Applications folder. If you now look into your Applications folder, you will find Terrapin Logo there:
