Catalina - Audacity cannot be opened

Post by geofffitch » Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:54 pm

macOS 10.15.1
Audacity 2.3.3

When opening Audacity, I get the error - "Adacity" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. I've tried opening from the finder and also Terminal widow per the 'workaround' for Catalina.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
