alias is apples (argueably more powerful version) of what are shortcuts on windows. So whether you copy the file into the applications alias found in the DMG or the actual application folder on your mac it ends up in the same place, that being your applications folder. Where it says drag you can copy and paste. When you open the pro tools app make sure you are opening pro tools dot app and not avid pro tools dot app which is what i think V10 and prior showed up as in the applications folder. you can see which version of pro tools you are about to open by pressing cmd+I on the dot app file to get info or what is essentially view properties in windows.
