digitalmars.D.learn - Can we get a video tutorial?

So I've been trying to install Dlang, VisualD, and Dub for the 
past day with little luck. I have DMD 1 and 2, and VisualD 
installed, but I can't get Dub working. I finally asked a friend 
to help and he got me to my current point of maybe having a 
package working but I'm not sure because I'm getting an error. I 
searched the forums and found someone else with the same problem 
from 2 years ago, and the pictures are down so no luck there.

So, as a complete noob/novice, I'm asking for someone to make a 
very simple, easy to follow, video tutorial for how to install 
the basics of D (DMD 1 and 2, VisualD (or an IDE of their 
choosing), Dub, and a graphics package/library to use with it).
This will hopefully simplify the installation process for people 
a lot and have less people turn away and go learn a different 
language rather than waste a couple days just setting D up.

Are you on linux or windows or...? Please, give a bit of context.

I (personally) am on Windows, umm, not sure what you want for 
context. When I run my program, it gives an error that something 
I'm importing .d can't be read.

There's no reason to install version 1.x of DMD, as it's no 
longer officially supported. D2 is all you need.

Here's what you should do:

1) Download and install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, but 
only if you want to install VisualD or compile 64-bit programs. 
You could alternatively install the Visual Studio Shell to use 
VisualD, but the CE gives you every thing you need to compile 
64-bit programs with DMD.

2) Download the DMD installer and run it. Allow it to set the 
path. Do not select D1 when given the option, jut D2 and 
(optionally) VisualD.

3) Download and run the DUB installer.

That's it. There's nothing else you need to do.

It would be much more helpful to those trying to help you if you 
could show exactly what error you're getting. It may very well 
have nothing to do with how you installed the programs, but with 
how you configured your project.

Ok, so, I am running Windows 10, I have installed VS 2015, I have 
installed DMD 1 and 2 (I know I only need 2 but it shouldn't hurt 
to have both), I have installed VisualD, and I have installed DUB 
with it's installer. (All of these installed successfully and 
work)

So, I'm trying to install gtkD but get "Error: module MainWindow 
is in file 'gtk/MainWindow.d' which cannot be read" when I try to 
run the program. No idea what this means, how to fix it, or what 
step I missed.

What I'd like is for someone to either make a tut of how to get 
from no Dlang on their computer to having a package working in a 
program, or for someone to help me and I'll try to make one later.

So, can you show your projects dub.json?

DMD is not currently compatible with VS 2015. You'll have trouble 
if you try to use it. That will hopefully be fixed in a 
not-too-distant release.

Based on this error, it appears you've done this in your code:

import MainWindow;

When you should be doing this:

import gtk.MainWindow;

Thanks for telling me it doesn't work too well with VS 2015

And here's what I am importing
import gtk.MainWindow;
import gtk.Label;
import gtk.Main;
