Ventura security problems. I updated to Ventura 13.1 . I can not find a way to run for example VMD, molden etc. These are the programs I used to work with on a daily basis. I am getting the errors: For VMD: “startup.command” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. For molden: “libgfortran.3.dylib” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Your security settings allow installation of only apps from the App Store. I did not find a way to make it work. Could anyone help, please? Is there any official way for system problems for mac users? This is really annoying to struggle with this kind of new features that does not work properly on the updated macOS. I have a feeling that with the every update I am less and less happy with the operating system and regret that abandoned linux enviroment... Thank you in advance for your help, tips and tricks.
