Can't get libFM to run - yes I've downloaded the executable

[Jade Gerlitz]

Using RStudio. It shows up in my file path, but when I try to run it, it doesn't work. Typical error I get is that it doesn't exist in the file path, but now it switched back to "could not find function libFM".

Using this part in order to execute the package "exe_loc = "~/libFM"". The path is given to me from RStudio using the "copy folder path to clipboard" function. Myself, and my two coworkers and our team lead have all tried troubleshooting, and nothing is working. Does someone have some insights?

Follow up question, I will inevitably need to run this in google colab. Is this even possible, or should I give up and try another package?

TIA
