Chrome does appear in Applications

When I download Chrome for OS x, the googlechrome.dmg is properly downloaded. When I double click on the icon, it apparently installs and then takes me to the Application page, but it is not listed. It is nowhere to be found.


Mystified!

Thank you! It worked when I dragged the Chrome icon into the Applications folder. If you have the time, I have some questions since this is my first Apple computer (thanks to client who gave me his 2009 iMac 27" -- I'm software/database developer from the other world). I do run a Linux server for testing my web apps, so I may have some understanding conceptually of what OS X does, but little vocabulary.


I understand that double-clicking the DMG file mounts it as a virtual disk, however I'm not sure what the window is called that is created by the double-clicking. Is that a pointer (alias) to the installer in the mounted virtual disk?
