Vinod,

There is no setup file. The file you should have downloaded is a disk image containing GnuCash.app, Update Finance::Quote.app, and some text files. To install just open the disk image and drag GnuCash.app (the .app part might not display depending on your Finder view preferences) to a regular folder. Most users put it in Applications. Once that's done, double click it. GateKeeper will put up a dialog about apps downloaded from the internet, tell it to open the app. GateKeeper will check the signature and should open GnuCash, though for some users it doesn't. If that happens just double-click GnuCash's Finder entry again and it should open.

If that fails, try opening it from Terminal as follows: Open Applications:Utilities:Terminal. It will display a window with a prompt. At the prompt type
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
(If you put it somewhere other than Applications adjust the path accordingly). If it still fails to open paste any output from Terminal into a reply. Please remember to copy the list when you reply.
