It's a bit easier than that:

If you control-click on the app icon and click on "open", a pop-up window will warn you and ask if you really want to run the program.  Click that you do and it will run; you will not be asked in the future.

I doubt you’ve done anything wrong at all.

Newer versions of the OS do not allow you to run software which does not meet certain qualifications (like coming from the App Store).  By default this behavior is turned on, and protects you form malicious software from running without your knowledge.

I bet that’s your problem.

After you try to run the software, (like, directly after) open System Preferences and go to the Security pane.  In my version it’s “Security and Privacy” - I don’t recall whether the name has changed over the years.  If you’re running El Capitan, that’s exactly what it will say. :)

At any rate, in the lower portion of that pane, you can set your preferences as to what kind of software should be allowed to run on your computer.  In your case, because a program was just denied, there should be text to the effect that the program was not allowed to run, and there should also be a button to allow the program to run from now on.

Others more learned will tell you there are key commands and other ways around this as well, but I don’t recall what they are.  The pref pane works and it’s one I remember, so that’s my suggestion.  Works like a charm for me ever since.

Do let me know if it works, and especially if it doesn’t.  We can look in your logs and see what the problem might be if there’s a deeper issue.

I checked back through the archives for several months, and I couldn't find my question. So, at the risk of repeating what has already been discussed, I'll ask.

I have not been able to launch CHIRP on my iMac. I have installed CHIRP and I have installed PYTHON. CHIRP still fails to launch. I'm sure that this is 'operator error', so can someone tell me what I've done wrong or failed to do?

Thanks,

Sam - W5KF
