With the new "Security & Privacy" features of macOS Sierra and High Sierra, you may have notice that apps now are only allowed either from the App Store or from identified developers. In previous macOS version, we had the option for apps from "Anywhere" but that option is now gone ... or is it?
To enable "Anywhere" again, try this in Terminal:
sudo spctl --master-disable
If you'd like to go back to the default settings:
sudo spctl --master-enable
