If you run "dub install" it will only clone the repository and its 
dependencies. It will not compile anything and it won't put the 
resulting binaries (which don't exist) in a easily accessible location.

Although it can be useful to integrate in an IDE, but that will only be 
useful for libraries. Not for executables, since they're not installed.
