Changing security settings in iMac.

I had this error report come up when installing an Apoggee Duet manual on an external bootable drive with Mt Lion on it.Here is what it says:


"Your security preferences only allows installation from mac app store & identified developers".


How do I change this setting? Is it safe to change it?

In System Preferences>Security change the setting to Anywhere (you'll probably need to unlock the preference panel using your admin password).

Alternatively, leave the setting as is and simply right-click or control-click on the installer package and select 'Open' from the menu that appears. Only do this if you are confident that the download has come from a bona fide source.
