Depending on your settings, you may see a message, “the developer cannot be verified”. If you receive this message, try to follow these steps:
- Go into System Preferences → Security and Privacy.
- On the first tab, when an unsigned application is blocked from loading, there is an ‘Open anyway’ box which appears there.
