SUMMARY
***
I am trying to install rKWARd on a Mac. MacOs 14.2.1

I followed all instruction on the install webpage and installed R 4.3.2, then KWard 0.7.5

Everytime I start Kward I get the following message

The backend process failed to start with exit code 6, message: 'dyld[2067]: Library not loaded: @rpath/libR.dylib
  Referenced from: <486CAC2A-C75D-3CFF-9A10-B9AF33F2175C> /Applications/rkward.app/Contents/MacOS/rkward.rbackend

'.
The R backend will be shut down immediately. This means, you can not use any more functions that rely on it. I.e. you can do hardly anything at all, not even save the workspace (but if you're lucky, R already did that). What you can do, however, is save any open command-files, the output, or copy data out of open data editors. Quit RKWard after that. Sorry!

For the time being, only the x86_64 variant of R is supported. You need to install that.

Thank you so much, It worked perfectly.
