Control Which Apps Can Be Installed with Gatekeeper

Many apps are available for Macs, and it can be hard to tell which are helpful and well programmed and which can be dangerous. To help you avoid unsafe apps, OS X includes a feature called Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper enables you to restrict the sources of apps your Mac mini can run.

You can set Gatekeeper to permit only apps from the Mac App Store, only apps from the Mac App Store and developers registered with Apple, or apps from any source.
