Research direction
Open contents/mac/create_bin_folder.tw2 around line 41 and review how the macOS binary is unpacked for each architecture. Update the manual-install instructions so the binary is found in its extracted directory without relying on an unsafe ambiguous path, then reread the walkthrough to confirm the steps work for both architectures.

Description
https://github.com/exercism/interactive-cli-walkthrough/blob/53b89e180b72bd6e0df88769362104a08a40090c/contents/mac/create_bin_folder.tw2#L41 instructs the user to run
mv ~/Downloads/BINARY_NAME ~/bin
however, the binary is in the extracted directory ie. ~/Downloads/exercism*/BINARY_NAME.
I would submit a PR for this but I'm not sure how to make it dependant on the architecture because the extracted folder name is different depending on which architecture the user is on.
Another option is to change the instruction to
mv ~/Downloads/exercism*/BINARY_NAME ~/bin
but may not be desired because they may have another folder in there.
