Rstudio not starting, problem with OS?

RStudio IDE
1

Hi, I got older Mac from uni and I'm trying to install R and R studio so I can continue working.
Mac OS is 10.14.6 Mojave
R version 4.2.3 "Shortstop Beagle" seems working ok
I downloaded version of Rstudio, that should work on my OS but the session failed to start:

Is it because the old Mac OS and should I update and it can help? Or do I have wrong R version for Rstudio to work?
Thanks for any ideas, I was right now getting friendly with R and Rstudio and the computer change completely stoped me from any progress.

Hi @mad-s
Welcome to the Posit/RStudio Community Forum.

The error message suggests that your Mac OS 10 is missing a required piece of software : 'libssl.1.1.dylib'
A quick Google Search for "libssl for mac OS 10" provides links to several possible fixes.

Thank you @DavoWW it helped, after fixing missing piece of software I was able to finally run RStudio. Thank you for your help.
