Hi @vera,
Thank you for choosing Hexnode Connect!

Checking the contents of the PKG file can determine if the file is flat or not. For example, if the PKG file contains the package info root file and the distribution root file, it is not a flat PKG file. Use the script provided below to expand the PKG file and reveal its contents.

Script to expand PKG file

pkgutil --expand <PKG file> <destination folder>

1	pkgutil --expand <PKG file> <destination folder>

Execute the above script after replacing <PKG file> with the name of the PKG file along with the path and <destination folder> with the path to a new folder. The command will create a new folder with the provided name where the PKG file contents will be listed.

The script provided above is adapted from third-party open-source sites. Therefore, it is advised to manually validate the script execution on a system before executing in bulk.

Hope that helps. Feel free to contact us for more queries.
Cheers!
