Computer won't allow installation

I have a new iMac running OSX 10.8.2. I downloaded Audacity, but the computer says it will permit only Apple apps to be installed. Suggestions?

Do you have FireFox, Photoshop or any other non-Apple application?

We had difficulty with our videoconferencing application. I don't remember how they resolved it. I know we've been putting off upgrading for a long time because of application problems.

No, no other non-Apple apps yet. I intend to get the Adobe suite, but now I'm wondering....

If this is still a problem, please right-click or control-click on the Audacity application in Finder, choose "Open", then in the dialogue box that appears, choose "Open". You will then be able to launch Audacity normally on subsequent occasions.
