The DlangUI docs has you covered with everything you need to set 
it up both on the github README file or the github wiki.

Its just:

dub init PROJECT_NAME dlangui


This will create project and add dlangui as dependency. Creating 
a project requires Internet connection to download the dlangui 
package. You may also add dlangui as a dependency in the 
project's dub.json file.
