What is .PKG File Format and How to Open it?
A .PKG file is a package file used by various software installation applications, primarily for the Mac OS X operating system. It is similar to an executable (.EXE) file on the Windows platform, but is much more versatile. PKG files contain all of the files necessary for a software installation, as well as information about the installation process.
PKG files are also used on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 game consoles, where they contain installable packages of software or game updates.
To open a .PKG file, use Apple’s Installer application. This is installed by default on all Mac computers, and can be opened from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. When you open a PKG file, it will show you all of the files necessary for the installation, and then you can click “Continue” to begin the installation process.
