Download > Drag into /Applications isn't easy enough for you?
1. Drag into Applications, try to open it, get warning.
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, click on lock, enter admin password, allow the app to be opened.
So it's not as easy as it used to be.
If either of those aren't satisfying, you can always drop the check entirely which I can't personally recommend.
I don't think you can? Unless I am missing something?
You can add Terminal to "developer tools" so you can launch stuff from the shell without Gatekeeper interfering, but is there really a way to disable the gatekeeper warning for downloaded apps altogether?
How does that work? I use iTerm so how would I add it to "developer tools"?
If the Developer Tools section isn't visible, this command should fix it [1]:
spctl developer-mode enable-terminal
sudo spctl --master-disableExecuting the command does make the "Anywhere" option show up in System Settings, but from testing it doesn't seem that this option makes a difference.
The user gets a warning initially saying that the download is "damaged".
