There was an issue with the Assimp library that was not found when running the code, and the Assimp folder under the/assimp/3.3.1/include directory was copied to/usr/local/include.

When you run the code, you find that you cannot successfully link to assimp, use homebrew, and enter the brew install ASSIMP.

A prompt for unsuccessful links appears:

Follow the prompts to enter the brew link--overwrite assimp, because the permissions issue, failed to execute successfully, and currently homebrew can not use sudo operation. You need to change read and write permissions here. Because there was no such part at the time. ), so I also forgot which folder it was.

Anyway, it's/usr/local/include or/usr/local/lib/cmake. Right-click Folder display Introduction to modify permissions, read-only change to read and write.

Re-enter the brew link--overwrite assimp, link successfully.

For security reasons, remember to change the read and write permissions back.
