To add to all above info, with recent releases of MacOS we will have to install XQuartz before installing R. After these installations, proceed with RStudio installation.

You have probably installed Rstudio before installing R. What you can do is to first install R using brew install R and then reinstalling Rstudio using brew reinstall rstudio.

Running brew install R solves the problem for me.

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.
