README incorrectly says there's no binary release for Apple Silicon #404

The README says to use the "from sources" method for "Apple Silicon / M1". This is out of date; there's now a binary dmg release for arm64.

Also note that referring to "M1" is now confusing since there are M2 and M3 processors. arm64 would be a better keyword to mention.

Thanks for the report - this is indeed both wrong.

Just FYI that this still isn't fixed. I believe you should consider macOS to approximately mean Apple Silicon at this point. I ran into these instructions seeing them linked from the setup instructions for this class at MPRI.

Hello, I am curious about a point : I have an apple sillicon, but if I had an Intel one, which method should I pick ?

At this stage, I believe it's no longer about which type of processor you have but rather how experienced you are
