Can't open lib ODBC Driver 17 OSX [duplicate]

Question

I have installed the driver on my Mac and tried to run the rust, unfortunately I keep getting the following message:

Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")

I have followed the following instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017

My Python code to establish the connection looks like this:

con = pyodbc.connect(
                r'DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};'
                r'SERVER=;'
                r'DATABASE=;'
                r'UID=;'
                r'PWD='
                )

On Windows I don't have any problems running this, but on my Mac I can't get the code running even when I have the driver installed.

If anyone ever gets the same problem as I have, you have to use the solution found at:
