[R-SIG-Mac] procedure to ship libomp.dylib run-time with package

At https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/ it  says
"any package you compile against libomp.dylib will need that run-time so you have to ship it with your package or have users install it”

Are there  any  instructions on what to do/where to put libomp.dylib so it will be found?

I’ve compiled a package (OpenMx) in which OpenMP is working locally but other users get the error:

require(OpenMx)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘OpenMx’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Users/***/Library/R/x86_64/4.4/library/OpenMx/libs/OpenMx.so':
