What error are you getting? dmd easier to install as tcc 
compiler. I used to download a .zip file but now I use the setup 
in .exe format so it install everything for me 1-click only. It 
ask me to install dmd/dmc/visual D and so on. I select what I 
need to and then it's done. After downloaed I just path the dmd's 
path in my Windows' PATH variable to use it from command line or 
an IDE invoke dmd command and run successfully.

It's on Windows. Other than Windows such as Linux isn't such a 
hard.
