How do I set up the Programmer Dvorak key layout on Mac OSX El Capitan?
Solution 1:
After clicking the + button, try scrolling to 'Others' and then look for the keyboard under there. I just installed a keyboard for the International Phonetic Alphabet and had the same problem. Good luck!

// , The following worked, in my case, for setting up the Programmer Dvorak key layout on Mac OSX "El Capitan":
Adding Programmer Dvorak to the list of available layouts
These steps must be performed from a user account with administrator access. By default, the main user of the computer has this capability.
Open Safari and download the layout driver package. Safari will put this file into the ~/Downloads folder, unpack it and then start the installer.
If you are on Mavericks (or later), you must hold down the Control key while you click the package icon, and then confirm to Gatekeeper that you want to open the package.
Choose Continue to skip the introduction screen of the package installer.
Make sure that your main harddisk is selected as the target of the installation, and then click the Continue button.
Click on the Install button to start installation.
Enter your password to make a system modification, and then click on the OK button.
Click on the Close button to acknowledge a successful installation.

Alternatively you can do an automated, non-interactive installation of the layout using this command:
sudo installer -pkg "~/Downloads/Programmer Dvorak v1.2.pkg" -target /
10. In El Capitan, you must now clear the layout cache before new layouts are recognized:
sudo rm -f /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.le*
- THEN restart your computer, check your list of available keyboard layouts, and clear the cache again. After another restart, your new keyboard layout should be available.
