FYI, the documentation for the R Project app states that "For Mac OS X and Linux or Unix, [the default installation path is] probably /usr/bin/R."

This is not correct. According to the official documentation at the CRAN R Project, "The default installation path for R.framework is /Library/Frameworks".

The R interpreter binary gets installed to /usr/bin/R on my Mac OSX and Linux machines.

Thanks Damien! That's good to know. Both should be mentioned on the documentation page.
