Has anybody managed to install Audacity 3.x on Monterey?

Thank you for the link. It is one pot the many I had previously tried. Unfortunately I can't use the downloaded files because I do not know what an API is, or whether I have one, or if I do, how too invoke it to turn files into something that will support a specific application. I since downloaded WavePad, whose free version looks as if it does what Audacity does, so I can open, edit and save m4a files. Its interface is more complex than Audacity but it is a free tool that works, so I should not diss it.

sadly the Audacity 3.2.3 does not change its mind wherever I put ffmpeg. Each time I use the dialogue box to "locate" the path to ffmpeg, Audacity tells me it needs libavformat.dylib. each time i try, the dialogue has ignored my previous location for ffmpeg.dylib.

Has anybody actually installed it on Monterey, and if so how?

Not massively helpful to fill in the rest of the letters. Don't tell me, it is an interface between an application and a user for the purposes of programming.

An actual helpful answer might have been, "Hey Frank, to deploy the API to install ffmpeg in Audacity on Monterey, you open Audacity and then do this...blah blah, blah." Or "Frank, you open Terminal, navigate to Applications and type Audacity.. blah blah."

If you can amplify your answer to one that is helpful I will apologise for biting.

That last was a response only to NoctuaAthene, and not to the many people who have taken the time to make constructive and informed suggestions.

dialabrain, I followed the link, downloaded the pkg, ran it, waited for it to report installation was successful and..... it made no difference. Not even after a restart.
