You get a DMG file, this is a self-contained disk image which when you mount it (e.g. by double-click), expands to present a folder window containing the application to install, some short documentation (help, readme, etc) and a symbolic link to the usual installation folder on Mac, i.e. Applications. This is traditionally one of the two main ways of installing Mac apps using a graphical interface. The other way is to use the pkg format, optionally encapsulated in a DMG, (e.g. used by NeoOffice, but also Apple for some packages), which does often have a series of dialogues allowing the user to indicate which disk it would like to install the software to, accept the licence conditions, and optionally select or deselect additional elements to be installed (or not). Upon installation, an entry entitled LibreOffice is created in the Applications folder, and when the app is launched for the first time by a user, a LibreOffice folder is also created in the users /Application Support folder. Additional language packs for LibreOffice are installed in a slightly different way, as they use AppleScript to copy the files over to the LibreOffice folder. In this case, the language packs are provided as a DMG, which open when mounted to provide an *.app (another packaged installation format), which is essentially an AppleScript wrapper around a bundle of files, which presents a rudimentary dialog for selecting the path for their installation.
