Have you downloaded a program in Mac High Sierra and noticed this error? The program refuses to open and the only option is deleting it to the trash. This happened to me and I thought my software was bad until I saw of this fix. This is actually a security setting change in High Sierra.
Once changed, under privacy and settings you will see the option appear for Allow apps downloaded from: anywhere.
This anywhere option is turned off by default, but many advanced users will want to enable this so their software can run correctly.
To enable this, open up a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo spctl —master-disable
That will enable software from anywhere to run on your Mac system and your apps should now open properly without displaying the message that they need to be trashed.
