When the download is complete you should see a file named “TypeIt4MeInstaller.dmg” in your Downloads folder (or if not there, wherever your browser normally saves files to.) Double-click the downloaded DMG to open the installer. Read and agree to the End User Licence Agreement (EULA). When the window pictured here opens, drag the TypeIt4Me icon across to the Applications folder alias to install the app. Then unmount (eject) the DMG, go to your Applications folder and launch TypeIt4Me from there.
