Postinstall scripts not working

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to include a postinstall script in my pkg but it doesn’t seem to work.

electron-osx-flat MyApp.app --identity="3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: BLAHBLAH LTD (******)" --scripts="./scripts/" --install="/Applications"

./scripts/postinstall

mkdir ~/test

I run the install and the ~/test folder is not there. Hoping this is a pebkac; what am I doing wrong?

postinstall runs as root so your directory gets created in /var/root on macOS.
