+For libfreetype there is a dependency on libpng and you need to rewrite the rpath to point to the local directory, otherwise any generated installation package will not work on other computers. Make sure that you have write permissions to libfreetype.6.dylib before attempting to run this:
+
+```
+cd emulationstation-de
+install_name_tool -change /usr/local/opt/libpng/lib/libpng16.16.dylib @rpath/libpng16.16.dylib libfreetype.6.dylib
+install_name_tool -add_rpath @executable_path libfreetype.6.dylib
+```
+
+Verify that it worked as expected by running `otool -L libfreetype.6.dylib`. You should see something like the following:
+
+```
+libfreetype.6.dylib:
+	/usr/local/opt/freetype/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 24.0.0, current version 24.2.0)
+	/usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.5)

+	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1226.10.1)
+```
+
+You of course only need to run this once, well at least until you replace the library in case of moving to a newer version or so.
+
+In addition to these libraries, you need to create a `plugins` directory and copy over the following VLC libraries, which are normally located in `/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/`:
