How To Add App To Desktop

Installing Apps on a Mac The easiest way to install apps is with the Mac App Store. Search for the app you’re looking, click install, and enter your password. However, if the app you wants isn’t available on the Mac App Store, you can still install it using either a download or an installation disc. Choose “Make Alias” and a copy of the app appears. Well, it’s not a copy, just a pointer to the original, but they sure look similar: Here’s where you can see a bit of Mac magic happen. Drag it out of the Folder and onto the Desktop itself, or drag the alias onto “Desktop” on the side menu.
