Pull request overview
Updates the “Getting Started” documentation to reflect that SimpleITK R binaries are now distributed (via an installer) rather than being unavailable, aligning the docs with the new r-universe-based distribution approach.
Changes:
- Update the general “Downloading the binaries” platform-availability sentence to include R binaries.
- Replace the “R binaries are not available” section with updated installation guidance and links.
- Keep source-build fallback instructions for cases where a binary is unavailable.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
