Just installed R version 4.2 on my MacBook Pro M1 and trying to install Bioconductor. Used the basic command as suggested

if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")


# error message is as follows: 
There is a binary version available but the source version
  is later:

#Please advise! (Sorry for having such a basic issue but I cannot figure it out just from google searching...)

Had exactly the same issue here, in both Mac and Windows

Same here, but I wonder if it is due to using highSierra Mac? I have most recent R, but for HIghSierra not Monterey ... I think these are different versions, and Bioconductor may only work with R 4.2 running later Mac systems?

There is an open issue on BiocManager but we think this is intermittent from updating configuration files for the release today. https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocManager/issues/131
It should resolve shortly.
