Trouble transferring iPhoto library to new Mac

I used the migration assistant but my iPhoto library doesn't seem to have been transferred. Also, when I try to open the iPhoto app, and hit "Get started.", it says, "Photos cannot find the System Photo Library named “Photos Library. Any advice?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

I suspect that you are transitioning from iPhoto to Photos. Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, choose you iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new library using your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto Library will not be changed.
