All methods will result in the Anywhere GUI option disappearing again.

In Terminal or just change the setting back in Security & Privacy preferences manually. Once you have finished the installation remember to enable Gatekeeper once again you can either do this by using another configuration profile, running sudo spctl -master-enable Launch Terminal and type: sudo spctl -master-disable To disable Gatekeeper in the command line.

To do this we could use a configuration profile Now although graphically Anywhere is gone we can actually use the feature which in turn actually reenables the GUI option. Now we could run the installer 10 times each time having to go to Security & Privacy preferences and Open Anyway until we have finally done them all or we can disable Gatekeeper temporarily so that we can install the drivers. The problem with the Kodak installer is that even if you override Gatekeeper settings to allow install Software package it actually runs 10 separate installer packages each also unsigned and therefore blocked by Gatekeeper. Now for most software the lack of an Anywhere option is fine because we can either Control-Click the app and select Open from the contextual menu to update Gatekeeper to allow the software or we can go to Security & Privacy preferences and select Open Anyway which appears once you have dismissed the initial warning. Like alot of software downloaded from the internet it is not signed by an identified developer and therefore Gatekeeper will not allow it to run and warns you about it. One example of this is the KODAK_AiO_Printer_v7_9 software. Now why I don’t condone using the Anywhere option you may find on the very rare occasion as a user you are forced into it.
