Fixing Mac Sierra's annoying "feature"
In a world where we're trying to become more secure, sometimes tech companies tend to go a little too far and it can be annoying when they take way the option to do what you want at your own peril. I don't always buy apps off the Apple App Store. Before, you'd just say allow this Mac to download and install any app. Now, that option is gone and is replaced with this:Mac app store
OR Mac App Store and identified developers.
This means that if Apple doesn't recognize the app, you now get this message:
How lovely.
I downloaded a few free apps and, sure enough, they all had the same message.
Gatekeeper is the culprit and I'm going to take it down! By doing this, obviously there are security risks blah blah do this at your own risk blah blah.
Go to terminal
Copy and paste this magical code: sudo spctl --master-disable

Put in your computer password when it asks for it and click enter on your keyboard.
Ta-da! You can now install the apps you want on your own laptop.
