If you get an error message like “can’t be opened because it comes from a non identified developer”, then do the following:

- Control-click the app icon, choose “Open” from the shortcut menu.

The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.

You can also grant an exception for a blocked app by clicking the “Open Anyway” button in the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences. This button is available for about an hour after you try to open the app. To open this pane, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General.
