The error message indicates that the required library 'libheif' is not installed on your system. In order to resolve the error, you need to install the library first.
Here are the steps to install the library on macOS:
Install Homebrew if you don't have it installed:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Install the libheif library using Homebrew:
brew install libheif
After installing the library, try installing the module via pip again.
If the problem still persists, please share the exact error message and the command you executed in the terminal.
