Typically the problem here is that when the archive file has been download from the web on macOS, macOS&rsquo;s security system is categorizing the application as suspect and blocking it. 
 You can avoid this problem by using the following terminal command to mark the application as &ldquo;valid&rdquo; after extracting it from the archive file: 
 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/E2studio.app 
 replacing &ldquo; /path/to/E2studio.app &rdquo; with the actual location of your e2studio application. One easy way of doing this is to drag the E2studio.app icon from your Filer window into the Terminal window, right after typing the initial part of the command. 
 Once this terminal command is executed, you should be able to double click on "E2Studio.app" again and successfully start the application.
