Everything was running fine in Jupyter notebook until I imported Xgboost. As soon as I import it I get the problem below. I have Python 3.8 and have installed it via terminal pip3 method, what should I do next?

XGBoostError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

XGBoostError: XGBoost Library (libxgboost.dylib) could not be loaded.
Likely causes:
  * OpenMP runtime is not installed (vcomp140.dll or libgomp-1.dll for Windows, 
       libomp.dylib for Mac OSX, libgomp.so for Linux and other UNIX-like OSes). 
       Mac OSX users: Run `brew install libomp` to install OpenMP runtime.
  * You are running 32-bit Python on a 64-bit OS
Error message(s): ['dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/xgboost/lib/libxgboost.dylib, 6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libomp/lib/libomp.dylib\n  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/xgboost/lib/libxgboost.dylib\n  Reason: image not found']

I solved it by installing libomp.dylib for Mac OSX. The answer was there all along.
