Some Issues in R Setup Instructions for Mac

[katy-sadowski]

• The link provided to download R version 4.4.1 doesn't include v4.4.1 on the list ("Go to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/base/, click on ‘R-4.4.1.pkg’ to download.")
  • I'm on an Apple Silicon Mac and got 4.4.1 here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/base/
• The recommended Java version isn't compatible with ARM64 ("Go to https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk15-downloads.html, and select the Mac OS installer for the Oracle JDK as highlighted below.")
  • I installed JDK 17, ARM64 instead (on ChatGPT's recommendation 🙃 )
