Go to system preferences => Security & privacy and set Gatekeeper to allow apps to be downloaded from the Mac App Store, anywhere and from unidentified developers. Select the anywhere option and along with a warning about making your Mac less secure, you'll be told that if you don't use, the settings will reset within 30 days.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security GKAutoRearm -bool YES
