The.pkg of the streamer file is a hidden file included in the.dmg. To update, extract/copy the.pkg file to another location and run the standard silent install command: sudo installer -pkg 'Splashtop Streamer.pkg' -target /. Dmg Vs Pkg Vs App Files that contain the.pkg file extension are most commonly used by the Apple OS X operating system. The Apple PKG files usually contain installer scripts that are used by a variety of Mac programs for software installation purposes.
.dmg Vs.pkg
HI Pat,
From Wikipedia: A file with the extension .dmg (an abbreviation for disk image) uses a disk image format commonly found on Mac OS X. The format allows secure password protection as well as file compression and hence serves both security and file distribution functions. Its most common function is the distribution of software over the Internet. When opened, DMG files are 'mounted' as a drive within the Finder.
From: Wikipedia .cdr and ISO
ISO image
Filename extension .iso
Uniform Type Identifier public.iso-image
Type of format Disk image
Standard(s) ISO 9660
An ISO image is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc using a conventional ISO (International Organization for Standardization) format that is supported by many software vendors. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO but Mac OS X ISO images often have the extension .CDR. The name 'ISO' is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image can also contain UDF file system because UDF is backward-compatible to ISO 9660.

Chrome Dmg Vs Pkg For Mac
- Composer allows you to rebuild an existing package (PKG, DMG, or MPKG) by converting it to a package source. After converting it to a package source, you can make changes to its contents and save a new copy of the package. Open Composer and authenticate locally. Drag the package you want to convert from the Finder to the sidebar in Composer.
- If a user currently has a DMG installation of Teams and wants to replace it with the PKG installation, the user should: Exit the Teams app. Uninstall the Teams app. Install the PKG file. IT admins can use managed deployment of Teams to distribute the installation files to all Macs in their organization, such as Jamf Pro.
