Can not drag the app into the Application folder

I downloaded Grammarly for macOS from the website earlier. It can be downloaded into the desktop but when I clicked on it, it said drag Grammarly into the Application folder to install. So I did what it said. I dragged it into the folder, and I clicked on it. It said the same thing again. It just keeps saying "drag Grammarly to application folder to install" no matter how many times I dragged it into the folder.

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2), null

Hello,

If you are an administrator, try pasting this command in Terminal (when the above window is showing):

sudo cp -R /Volumes/Grammarly/Grammarly.app /Applications

When prompted, enter your administrator password to continue. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.

If successful, Terminal will not return an output and will instead be ready for a new command. The Grammarly app should also appear in the Applications folder.

Did you try to drag it into the alias showing in the window (the alias to the App folder)? You simply drag the green icon over to the right onto the App folder alias icon.
