Using script or even Swift app, how on MacOS could I install an app into the /System/Applications?

So nowadays my MacOS software uses an installer (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html Packages) and it is able to correctly install the application.

My client needs to have a quiet installer because he needs to install the app in a large number of computers so using the interactive mode is not good.

I am trying to create a script to do that but I am facing the Read-only file system error. Of course my script runs as root. I tried creating a simple Swift code to check, I got the same.

So my question: why an installer such Packages can create the folder into the /System/Applications and copy the required files as it runs at the same level of the script and my test program and them don't have the same permission?
