I believe this explains the issue http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/243687/allow-applications-downloaded-from-anywhere-in-macos-sierra The user account on my mac has an administrator role, which is why CAVE runs fine for me. You might try what is mentioned in the second answer: """ Apple have removed this function on macOS Sierra, but you can re-enable it running this in terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable Granted this is a little overkill, but it does the job reliably. It can be re-enabled immediately after launching the application with sudo spctl --master-enable """ > So this is interesting..
