Cannot install 'tseries' package mac

Hello! I was trying to install the 'forecast' package but I cannot do it because the co-required 'tseries' package cannot be installed. Could you please help me figure out why that is? This is the error message, I am using mac:

You are missing the fortran compiler required for compiling packages from source. You need to install Xcode in your system (not in R) and the recommended development tools for macOS systems.
