Dear "R" Foundation rep,

We are trying to install the "R" software for Mac in silent more directly
to the Mac device or creating a package in ManageEngine, whichever option
is chosen, it fails, as follows:

- If we try to download and install the R-4.4.2-arm64.pkg package directly
onto a MacOS
  Silicon device from ManageEngine, the package gives us a “Installation
failed” error.

- If we try to re-create a package in ManageEngine, using the
R-4.4.2-arm64.pkg file, it
  fails to upload in ManageEngine.

- When installing the R-4.4.2-arm64.pkg  itself from
http://cran.rproject.org/bin/macosx/, the
  application was able to download successfully with no errors. However, it
is not a
  silent installation

- We installed R on an Intel based processor, and the installation was to
totally silent

- How can we get an R software silent installation on a Silicon based
device?

- Is there a different URL we should use to download the correct R software
.pkg for
   Silicon based devices (Silent mode)?
   If so, please share the URL

Please carbon copy dlin using iwu.edu on your reply.

We look forward to your feedback.

Thanks.
