You are using the script directly from dlang.org, as such you can 
manipulate (manage) your installed compilers directly from the 
shell. And not just DMD, it also manages LDC and GDC.

     dmd|gdc|ldc           latest version of a compiler
     dmd|gdc|ldc-<version> specific version of a compiler (e.g. 
dmd-2.071.1, ldc-1.1.0-beta2)
     dmd|ldc-beta          latest beta version of a compiler
     dmd-nightly           latest dmd nightly
     dmd-2016-08-08        specific dmd nightly

To uninstall any compiler previously installed via this script 
simply type ~/dlang/install.sh uninstall <compiler version>

     install.sh uninstall dmd
     install.sh uninstall dmd-2.071.1
     install.sh uninstall ldc-1.1.0-beta2

To install a different version of the compiler type 
~/dlang/install.sh uninstall <other version>

     install.sh install dmd
     install.sh install dmd-2.071.1
     install.sh install ldc-1.1.0-beta2

To make the 'source ~/dlang/dmd-2.074.1/activate' persistent, 
simply store it in ~/.bash_profile. If this file does not already 
exist, simply create it.

Best of luck.
