Try these suggestions here. The quickest solution is probably this one:

mkdir -p ~/lib
ln -s "$(brew --prefix gs)/lib/libgs.dylib" ~/lib

Have you tried "pip install ghostscript" after all? Because this solved the problem for me

[bosd]

Please see the installation instructions for Ghostscript. Or try the latest version. Ghostscript is now an optional dependency. Pdfium is now the main image conversion backend which is easier to install.

Should be installed automatically if you pip install this package (Camelot )

Closing this for now as it is an old issue. Feel free to respond of you need further assistance.

I can confirm that v1.0.0 works without ghostscript on macos

I have figured out this question. First, you need an environment of Python 3.9 and then install 'camelot-py[cv]'==1.0.0. Finally, you just need run one conmmand line "pip install ghostscript", then everything will be Ok
