You might run into this problem when installing Appium or Appium Doctor on your mac. The full error that is printed when you run Appium Doctor might look like this:

dyld[89251]: Library not loaded: '/opt/homebrew/opt/mbedtls/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib'
  Referenced from: '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/librist/0.2.7_2/lib/librist.4.dylib'
  Reason: tried: '/opt/homebrew/opt/mbedtls/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mbedtls/3.4.1/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.13.dylib' (no such file)

How to resolve the issue?

If you are using brew, try to uninstall librist and mbedtls and then reinstall ffmpeg. That usually works:

brew uninstall librist --ignore-dependencies
brew uninstall mbedtls --ignore-dependencies
brew reinstall ffmpeg
