can't open .mpkg under OSX 10.9

tychocat · 12-31-2013, 09:37 AM

I can download it, but when I try to open it I get "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer". I tried opening it using the Terminal as suggested elsewhere, to no result.

I have also tried downloading using Safari or Firefox, different times of the day, phases of the moon, and cussing.

Thank you for your attention.

in the system preferences > security > general section, try setting the 'allow apps downloaded from' to 'anywhere'
