 <p>It is possible to use other 64-bit toolchains (including ‘MSYS2’) with UCRT support to build R, but this manual only documents that used for binary distributions of R 4.2.x and later. When using other toolchains, makefiles of R and packages may need to be adapted.</p>

 <p>[The rest of this paragraph is only relevant after release.] The front page of a CRAN site has a link ‘Download R for (Mac) OS X’ which takes you to a new page. Two files are offered for download, <code>R-4.4.0 Under development-arm64.pkg</code> and <code>R-4.4.0 Under development.pkg</code>. Both are for macOS 11 or later (Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma, …).</p>
 <p>The first is for ‘Apple Silicon’ (<em>aka</em> ‘M1’, ‘M2’ or ‘M3’) Macs, the second for older Macs with an <code>x86_64</code> (Intel) CPU.</p>
 <p>Package <code>R-4.4.0 Under development.pkg</code> also be installed on ‘Apple Silicon’ CPUs using ‘Rosetta’ emulation<a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1" role="doc-noteref"><sup>1</sup></a>, but the native build is preferred. It is a little faster (and for some tasks, considerably so) but may give different numerical results from the more common <code>x86_64</code> platforms (on Windows, Linux, … as well as macOS) as ARM hardware lacks extended-precision floating-point operations.</p>

 <p>To install, just double-click on the icon of the file you downloaded. At the ‘Installation Type’ stage, note the option to ‘Customize’. This currently shows four components: everyone will need the ‘R Framework’ component: the remaining components are optional. (The ‘Tcl/Tk’ component is needed to use package <strong>tcltk</strong>. The ‘Texinfo’ component is only needed by those installing source packages or R from its sources.)</p>
 <p>Note for Ventura users: installation from the <code>Downloads</code> folder may not be allowed or may require additional authorization, so we suggest you download somewhere else such as your desktop or home folder.</p>
 <p>These are Apple Installer packages. If you encounter any problem during the installation, please check the Installer log by clicking on the “Window” menu and item “Installer Log”. The full output (select “Show All Log”) is useful for tracking down problems. Note that the installer is clever enough to try to upgrade the last-installed version of the application where you installed it (which may not be where you want this time …).</p>
