By default this behavior is turned on, and protects you form malicious software from running without your knowledge.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I bet that’s your problem.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">After you try to run the software, (like, directly after) open System Preferences and go to the Security pane. In my version it’s “Security and Privacy” - I don’t recall whether the name has changed over the years. If you’re running El Capitan, that’s exactly what it will say. :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">At any rate, in the lower portion of that pane, you can set your preferences as to what kind of software should be allowed to run on your computer. In your case, because a program was just denied, there should be text to the effect that the program was not allowed to run, and there should also be a button to allow the program to run from now on.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Others more learned will tell you there are key commands and other ways around this as well, but I don’t recall what they are. The pref pane works and it’s one I remember, so that’s my suggestion.
