2. Double-click the `Applications` folder to open it.

The DropDMG commands in the Services menu will become available the next time you log in.

DropDMG includes an optional `dropdmg` command-line tool. It can be installed as follows:

If you downloaded DropDMG direct from C-Command
  Go to the Advanced tab of the Preferences window and click the Install “dropdmg” Tool button. DropDMG will ask for an administrator password, as it needs to copy the `dropdmg` file to the protected `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin` folder.
If you purchased DropDMG from Apple’s Mac App Store

  Open the Terminal application. To install the command-line tool, enter these commands:

      sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/
      F=/Applications/DropDMG.app/Contents/Frameworks/DropDMGFramework.framework
      sudo ln -s "$F/Versions/A/dropdmg" /usr/local/bin/dropdmg

  To install the manual, enter these commands:

      sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1/
      F=/Applications/DropDMG.app/Contents/Frameworks/DropDMGFramework.framework
      sudo ln -s "$F/Resources/dropdmg.1" /usr/local/share/man/man1/dropdmg.1
