Running MongoDB Compass on Mac

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4

I installed the MongoDB server Community edition on my Mac without a problem (seemingly). I then installed MongoDB Compass community edition, from the MongoDB download center. The setup completed without any errors. When I try to run Compass, I get the following error message:

“MongoDB Compass.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Anyone else running into this?

Solution:

This warning is because the Compass binary isn’t notarised for macOS yet. MongoDB is working on resolving the issue. The workaround, for now, is to right click on it in the Applications folder, and select Open, you get a second warning, but this time, there's an additional button allowing you to open it.
