I'm completely new to R and coding so feeling utterly overwhelmed here - any help at all would be truly appreciated.
I've been trying to install the package dartR on my mac, and it appears to download to a separate file on the computer but will not launch in studio or R. I've tried installing associated packages in case that was the problem, but as far as I can tell nothing will work. On my work computer, a Windows, everything run smooth as can be so I'm wondering if it is a mac issue?
I don't have a great understanding of what I'm doing so I'm struggling to troubleshoot, or even explain on here what the issue is so I've included a quick copy-paste of some of the code.

This is the first time I've installed R and tried to run anything on this computer.
Any advice or suggestions would mean a lot, thank you!!
