It seems like you're pointing the installer tool to a path that doesn't exist. Try copying the full path of the file, or using the installer script, since I think this install method will skip some user information you could get from the installer UI

Yes at this time I use the installer script to bootstrap my Mac. Was more a test to check if the package should work, sometime it is easier to manage a versioned package than a cli without an interactive terminal. Anyway, I also try with the full path, I get the same issue but if the pkg wasn't tested to work like that, we can move on :)
