Once you double click the DMG file it will open as a read only drive and appear under devices, if you then click on the read only drive it has opened as there will either be a .pkg file you can double click which loads an installer menu.
If however it is just a single icon or program on it's own, then you need to drag (or copy and paste) it into the applications folder on the computer.
Once it has finished copying, you can then eject the mounted read only drive image.
- Jan 02, 2009 Once the applications are installed, they do not require the dmg to run. Feel free to delete them as long as you don't need to install the program again. If you got it from the internet, you might.
- To answer your question(s), generally speaking, yes, you can delete the container file whether it be a.pkg,.dmg or.zip file. This of course assumes that all content of the container file has been installed.
