Cannot get Scrapy to work on Mac Os Catalina

After trying to continuously trying to install and run scrapy, i have hit a wall and cannot figure out what else to do.

upon initialising venv within folder with python 3.6.12,

scrapy startproject scraperproj

i am presented with the following error

`ImportError: dlopen(/Users/adris/Desktop/webscraper/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/_cffi_backend.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.7.dylib
