In such a situation,please add the following command to your bash_profile(Find where is libpython3.7m.dylib first,take /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib for example here)

    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib"
    export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/"

  • Note:Due to our reliance on the SkiaSharp graphics library, if you encounter the following error: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library ‘libSkiaSharp’ or one of its dependencies. please install SkiaSharp.

    brew  install nuget
    nuget install SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.macOS -Version 2.88.6
    After installation, please run the following command
    cp ./SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.macOS.2.88.6/runtimes/osx/native/libSkiaSharp.dylib /usr/local/lib/.

Of course, if you want it simpler, you can also download libSkiaSharp.dylib and then copy it to the /usr/local/lib directory.
