MAMP won't install

I'm truying to install MAMP on an iMac running 10.8.2 After unzipping and double clicking the little "opened box" icon I get the message "MAMP_2.1.1pkg can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."

How do I change that Pref? I looked in System Prefs under "security & privacy" but didn't see anything there. Anyone know how I can change the prefs? Thanks

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E56

You have two possibilities:

1. Right-click the installer and choose Open.

2. Go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy and choose “Anywhere" under “Allow applications downloaded from".

Gatekeeper limits you to install Mac App Store and identified developer's apps by default. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290

Thank you so much. The "anywhere" in Security & Privacy pref was grayed-out and I had to hit "advanced" in order to make change.

MAMP installed fine after change.

Thanks again.
