macOS could not be installed on your computer...the path /System/installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
How can I quit the installer and exit this update?
no option apparent except to click on “restart” which just brings me back to same place
Do you have a backup you can restore from?
Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart). Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.

I just returned from a trip, computer was fine when I closed down and turned off, was not in the middle of an update as far as I knew. When I turned back on this morning was greeted with message above.
