"...can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software"

⚡ This error or warning occurs when an installer has not been digitally signed for your version of macOS by Apple. If you've downloaded the installer from Slate Digital or Solid State Logic, you can rest assured that the software is safe to install, regardless of the warning.

👉 To proceed, right-click the installer and select "Open". The same error will appear, but you'll now have the option to open it anyway.

If issues persist, navigate to System Preferences → General → Open Anyway.

🛡️ If this doesn't work, it may be due to a firewall or antivirus software preventing the app from opening. Please temporarily disable it and try again.

⚠️ Note: This process works for any installer or app that's being blocked by macOS with a similar error message.
✅ Important: Always proceed at your own risk and make sure you trust the developer of the software you are installing.
