I'm running Debian GNU/Linux (testing). Here's the installation 
process for the 3 major D compilers.

$ apt install gdc
$ gdc my_first_program.d

GDC is too old for you? Fine, let's use ldc:

$ apt install ldc
$ ldc2 my_first_program.d

Or if you want the bleeding edge version of D:

(download dmd .deb package from dlang.org)
$ dpkg -i dmd_*******.deb
$ rdmd my_first_program.d

Debian maintainers, one word: Thank you!
