D uses dub and code.dlang.org to fetch dependencies (similar to python 
or other ecosystems).

If you are using dub to build your project, just add dlangui as a 
dependency, and you can then import and use it. This goes in your 
dub.json or dub.sdl file. See documentation here: 
http://code.dlang.org/getting_started

If you want to build the dlangui library directly and install it on your 
own without dub, you would need to download the source (probably from 
github) and build it using dub.
