Download the .dmg file as you have done.
Double-click on the file to mount the disc image on your Desktop.
Double-click on the mounted disc image's Desktop icon to open a window on the contents.
Drag the Skype icon out of that window and put it into your Applications folder.
Close the window and Eject the mounted disc image's icon by dragging it to the Trashcan.

To run Skype go to your Applications folder and double-click on the Skype icon.
