Do I need to keep .pkg files on my iMac?

When I download and install a program, can I delete the .pkg of that program?

I am not too familiar with OS X but I believe so. I *think* it is just like on windows when you download a file a select save instead of open you get an installer package. After you install the program you no longer need the installer. I am almost positive its the same on OS X and after installing you can delete that file.

thanks! This will give me back a little more space....
 
Yea, you can delete the .pkg and .dmg files after installing a program. No need to keep them
