mac installer complains about "unidentified developer"

[robertramey]

When I try to invoke the installer I get a dialog box with the following messages.

“git-2.15.0-intel-universal-mavericks.pkg” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

This item is on the disk image “git-2.15.0-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 10:29 AM from sourceforge.net.

I am having the same issue that the developer can not be verified

[francismagaji]

How do I overcome this challenge of verification of the developer?

même problème ici

[yearinc]

under "the apple logo" go to "system preferences" then find "security & privacy". Unlock the bottom lock to make changes, and by "allow apps to be downloaded from:" click download :) should work!

Along with @yearinc's solution, you can also right click on the installer and select "open" to bypass the warning.

@yearinc's solution led me to find that when you click on your downloaded file to install, it will give you the error but if you go to the apple symbol, system settings, privacy & security, look under security and you should see a message that looks like the following: "git-2.23.0...ericks.pkg" was blocked because it is not from an identified developer. Below that you should see a button that says open anyway. A window should open up with the installation as expected.

Alternative ways:

• Open terminal and type in the following:

brew install git
or
sudo port install git

the second requires MacPorts to be installed can be found here: https://www.macports.org/.
