To install a '.pkg' file on macOS, the user should execute the file by double-clicking it, which launches the installer and guides them through the installation process. Dragging the file to the Applications folder is appropriate for '.app' files, not '.pkg' files. Mounting is typically associated with '.dmg' files, and using Terminal is unnecessary for standard installations of '.pkg' files.
