Thanks @valentinavan for sharing this issue.

I'm not very familiar with macOS but I guess you're just lacking an extra dependency from your operating system. Could you try to install xquartz on your machine before having another go for the OpenSpecy installation.

Pasting brew install xquartz into your terminal should do the job.

Thanks @zsteinmetz . It worked by installing it from GitHub (not from the CRAN)
