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
At the time of writing, you can get round this by deleting the quarantine extended attribute on the application.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/file

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
If you drag it to your /Applications folder, then right-click and press 'Open', a pop-up will appear, click 'open' again.
That worked for me when downloading an app that had this issue.
did you try using the menù "right click > Open"?

the discussion is about Mojave, not a still in beta OS which cannot be discussed here.
wow!! Opened it right up!! Thank you!
No I didn't. I found an app, Pacifist, and it worked great. Thanks
Are you running Catalina? That's the only time I've seen that exact message.
I'm on Mojave 10.14.5. I was trying to open an Anthem app for ARC calibration on my MRX 720.
Thanks. Well glad it's sorted for you.
It's work!!
Thanks. I used Pacifist and it worked right away.
I know this is super late, but this worked for me.

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.
