      Description

      Due to browser limitations there is not a reliable way to detect the type of macOS processor architecture and automatically offer the aarch64 build of Jalview's launcher instead of the x64 version.

      As a result we currently offer these two options for macOS installs - but it would be even better if we could just offer a single download.
