You just copy it into your application folder. Some apps do have a normal installer, in which case you’ll see that before you run it. For apps that you got outside the app store, you may want to deactivate gate keeper, as most apps aren’t signed and won’t open without you having to go through a menu to force it to open. To do that go to system preferences, security and privacy. Unlock the controls with the “click the lock to make changes” box, then go to the general tab and set “allow apps downloaded from” to “anywhere”.
