Problem: Application home: where is website pointing

[smalusa]

The current website is where app users access the application. wildcatresearch.arizona.edu Currently it is unknown if the where the website is pulling the application from - the site needs to be corrected to pull the app from latest published version on github.

App should be bundled with proper link to compatible java 15 (NOT 16) for user to access if the user does not have java.

The website always points at the latest release build:

https://github.com/CulverLab/sparcd/releases/tag/latest

I created a wiki page with instructions on updating the release build: https://github.com/CulverLab/sparcd/wiki/Release-build

@smalusa please test the download from the website to ensure it works on Windows and macOS.

This now works, and the instructions above will ensure it keeps working. It still involves manual steps, but we can automate it later.
