This is a MacOS message, and a MacOS problem. MacOS uses a service called the Gatekeeper to discourage installing non-Apple software. Apple changes the Gatekeeper warnings and procedures often. You must ask Apple, or consult an Apple forum if you are having difficulty with using MacOS. You may need to check with Apple for the correct procedures for your version of MacOS. The following link was current as of November 2022: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/13.0/mac/13.0. Follow Apple's instructions. For many versions of MacOS this procedure has worked: In Finder use Go (menu) → Applications. If you can't find OpenOffice.app in that folder see Q03/A03. Hold the Control key and click OpenOffice.app, then select Open. After you've opened it once, Gatekeeper should allow it to run in the future. MacOS 11 may require an additional step: → System Preferences → Security and Privacy → General → OpenOffice was blocked → Open anyway.
