Error reading R script (),system error 2 when trying to run R Studio on Mac

I installed R Studio desktop in my MacBook air running on Big Sur. Unfortunately, it cannot run due to the error below:

Error reading R script (),system error 2 (No such file or directory); Unable to find libR.dylib in expected locationswithin R Home directory /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources

Solution 1:

Running brew install R solves the problem for me.

Solution 2:

A similar question was asked on the R Studio community.

• You need to first download base R:

  • Choose the latest version from here, under the Latest release header. For example, R-4.1.0.pkg.

• Then download R Studio for MacOS from here.
