How can I allow an app to open that has been stopped from opening with the following message: "can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

i'm trying to open a package from Anthem Audio that contains the Anthem Room Correction software. When I go to open the package it tell me: "can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." I've checked in System Preferences but can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

If you’re certain that an app you want to install is from a trustworthy source and hasn’t been tampered with, you can temporarily override your Mac security settings and open it.

In the Finder, Control-click the app, choose Open from the menu, and in the dialog that appears, click Open. Enter your admin name and password when prompted.  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491
