Yes, that has been very widely tested.  We don't know what OS you or the 
OP are running, though.

Machines with M2 CPUs are very new (like 1-2 days old) and are 
presumably running 13.1 or 13.2.

I have just re-installed 4.2.2 on Macs running Ventura 13.2 with M1 Pro 
and M1 Mac CPUs.  If I had a failure my first step would be to look at 
the Console logs (the Console App is under Applications/Utilities).  And 
I would make sure my OS was up-to-date (13.2 is also new this week).

The window says I should contact the software manufacturer for help, so I am here to ask for help. I am in a hurry to install it because I need it to finish my school assignment for the R-related course at my university. If you need any extra information, please email me, and I will respond as soon as possible.
