This is exactly what I was looking for, not needed to extract but open it. – JoSeTe4ever Oct 29 '19 at 16:49

Please try this:

sudo installer -pkg ~/yourdirectory/packagename.pkg -target ~/Applications/

OR

installer -pkg ~/yourdirectory/packagename.pkg -target ~/Applications/

Using the following line in sudoers to skip password:

jinith ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
