I assume you have already tried the .deb or have no desire to use it and aren't going to use Tango. The simplest is to extract it and put dmd/ linux/bin in your path. $ PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dmd/linux/bin I'm going to suggest install-d.sh: http://groups.google.com/group/ dlanguage/files But I have to warn you that it doesn't have the most thorough testing, and currently only works if you install as root. To download and install version 1.043 $ sudo ./install-d -d -v 1.043 As for doing this by hand. The two directories you are interested in are src/ and linux/ the others are just manuals and other operating systems. copy the files found in linux/ to /usr/local/ copy src/phobos to /usr/local/include/ With this you'd need to edit dmd.conf to look more like this $ vim /usr/local/bin/dmd.conf [Environment] DFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/phobos -L-L/usr/local/lib
