I am trying to play with D, but I'm getting stuck with the DUB package

DUB to add what I downloaded to the dub.json file? I have tried DUB
--fetch --cache=local http-parser (for example). It downloads the
package, but then nothing is added to the list of dependencies.
I'd appreciate any help.
As Rikki said, you don't need to download anything. You've got it rather
backwards. *You* add the dependency to the dub.json and then *DUB* will
pull it down and compile it automatically when you execute 'dub' or 'dub
build' in the same directory as the configuration file.
See the dub.json at [1] as an example. It's a simple little TicTacToe
game that has a dependency on DerelictSDL2, which, if you look at [2],
you'll find has a dependency on DerelictUtil. If you clone the source,
cd into the top-level directory and execute 'dub', then DUB will pull
down both DerelictUtil and DerelictSDL2, compile them into libraries,
compile the game code, then link it with the libraries and run the
executable.
