ERROR connecting to MATLAB

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to run a python program called OpenNFT that I had to get from github repo for work. I have run the setup build install for the matlab engine and when i run a pip list I do see the matlabengine installed for R2020a. I am currently running python 3.6 along with the MATLAB R2020_a on a MAC OS computer which is running Catilina. I am getting the following Error messages when Initializing my program:

matlab.engine.EngineError: Unable to connect to MATLAB session 'MATLAB_NFB_MAIN_15576'.

2020-07-10 08:26:56 | ERROR | runmatlab:connect_to_matlab - Cannot connect to Matlab "MATLAB_NFB_MAIN"

Hope to hear back soon thank you in advance to anyone who can help me I also left this question in their repo I will post If i get a fix from there.
