This should open an installer window.
In the installer window, agree to the license and press next.
Allow for the default installation path and shortcut naming.
Click on add Positron shortcut to the desktop if you like desktop shortcuts.
Review install options and, then, press next.
Allow for about 80 seconds or so for the installer to complete the process.
Press "finish" to launch Positron.
Positron will run through a startup procedure that requires some time to search for installation of Python and R.
In our case, they didn't opt to start an interpreter, so we went to the "Start Interpreter" in the upper right and launched R 4.4.1.
