How to handle the error "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."

Unfortunately, SeaMonkey and Open Office are not in the mac app store. The Mac gatekeeper is giving you this error "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." If you control click the download, I think it will give you the option to override the gatekeeper. This process is described in more detail in :

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491 Read the : "How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper." section

Here is are the basic instructions:

• In Finder, Control-click or right click the icon of the app. (SeaMonkey or Open Office)
• Select Open from the top of contextual menu that appears.
• Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
  Note: If there is an app that presents multiple Gatekeeper dialog boxes, you can temporarily use Gatekeeper's "Always" option. Make sure to restore the Gatekeeper option that was there before to bring back Gatekeeper function.
