macOS High Sierra is a great update and brings lots of new and much needed improvements but that doesn’t mean that some of the changes can’t be annoying.
Those who only install apps from the Mac App Store should not bother changing the default settings. Make sure to select the first option labelled Mac App Store and close the box. If you want to install and run any app you want and don’t worry at all about malware, then choose the third option labelled Anywhere. In the bottom right corner of the screen, click Downloads and select wsamac.dmg. Double-click the Webroot SecureAnywhere icon. In the pop-up, click Open. In the Webroot SecureAnywhere pop-up, select your preferred language, and click Next. Enter your keycode and click Agree and Install. Click here to reach the Webroot SecureAnywhere installer for your Mac, and click the Download Now button to begin the installation process. Next, in the bottom right corner of your screen, or in your downloads folder, select the wsamac.dmg file. Double-click the the Webroot SecureAnywhere icon to launch the installer. Install (MAC) – Double-click the disk image. Copy the application into the Applications folder. Launch Anywhere Connect. Select the application from the desktop shortcut that was saved when installed, or from its location on your computer. Issue: I need to install AppsAnywhere to access College of Charleston-provided software. Environment: MacOS. Resolution: Instead of installing apps on each and every machine, AppsAnywhere allows applications to be delivered to students, faculty and staff on-demand through an app store-style platform, the AppsAnywhere Application Catalog.
For example, just like in macOS Sierra, one of the changes that Gatekeeper comes with is that there’s no immediate way to allow unsigned apps to open.
Up until now, Gatekeeper also allowed you to open apps downloaded from “Anywhere” but that’s no longer the case. Of course you can still open unsigned apps, but it’s a pain in the ass.
Let’s say you want to open a free app like Audacity. Open it and you will get this pop-up…
Ok, nothing new here. This was present in previous OS X version too. However, in previous versions you always had the option to set OS X and allow unsigned apps from “Anywhere”.
In macOS High Sierra that option is missing and, you will always have to go to System Preferences>Security & Privacy> and click on a new button that says “Open Anyway”.
Luckily there’s an easy fix for this:
1. Open up Terminal, type “sudo spctl –master-disable”( no quotes ), and hit enter ( NOTE: you might not be able to copy – paste the command in the terminal. See the screenshot below to make sure you enter it correctly )
1. Open up Terminal, type “sudo spctl –master-disable”( no quotes ), and hit enter ( NOTE: you might not be able to copy – paste the command in the terminal. See the screenshot below to make sure you enter it correctly )
2. Type in your password ( you won’t be able to see what you’re typing ), and hit enter
3. You’re done.
Now you can go to Preferences>Security & Privacy and choose “Anywhere”

NOTE: if you want, for some reason, to go back to the way macOS High Sierra wants it all you have to do is repeat all the steps above but instead of “disable” change it to “enable”. ( i.e. “sudo spctl –master-enable” )
