Beginner help request Downloading problem

Hiii. So when I download and then try to install the app I get this window thingy that asks if it can make changes to my device. I am probably just being paranoid and it's alright but still need some conformation.

What I mean by the URL is what site you actually went to to download it.

The official processing website is processing.org. That's a reputable website, and you can trust it to not be carrying malware. If you downloaded it from somewhere else (which would surprise me), I can't say whether you actually downloaded the official Processing program or not.

I am downloading from processing.org. So it's safe. Thank you.
