Using Tesseract OCR locally from a Mac

Question

I am trying to run a Kotlin program on my local MacBook where I'm using Tesseract OCR.

I have set in my POM, and installed it both via Homebrew and MacPorts.

Now for some reason I keep getting an error while running the application stating /usr/lib/libleptonica.6.dylib can not be found. Now I checked where the libleptonica.6.dylib file actually is, and it's in some homebrew folder.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I don't want to meddle around in the files too much, and I also don't have a clue what I should do anyhow.

I'm using the lastest version of Tesseract.

Below is the entire error log:
