Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.

Any ideas?

1. Hold down "control" button

2. Click on the app that is triggering the message about the security preferences

3. Select "open" to override and install/open the application


This allows you to avoid changing the security setting to "anywhere."
