No, it's a rather old OSX security feature. I think it goes back to Mountain Lion.

Go to System Preferences and select the "Security and Privacy" pane. Under the General tab, in the lower panel that says "Allow apps downloaded from:" select "Anywhere." Put the pane away, and install AOO normally. After you've finished, pull the preference pane back up and change it back to "Mac App Store and identified developers."

N.B.: Don't forget to unlock the pane with the lock in the lower left corner. Click the lock and enter your system password. Lock it back when you've finished installing.

I will keep this email for future reference !!!

But surely this is unnecessarily complicated advice? Read the Apple support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290 for details. There is no point in going through the complicated process of disabling Gatekeeper if you are going to re-enable it immediately after. To override Gatekeeper individually for a particular installation, use Control-click, as suggested in the article under "How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper".
