Quarto project does not appear even after updating RStudio

RStudio latest version is compatible with macOS version 10.15+ however my OS version is 10.14.6. The latest RStudio version that my OS can support is 2021.09.0 which does not happen to come with Quarto. (Quarto is available in 2022 releases).

I upgraded R to version 4.2.1 however, that did not help with Quarto installation.

What worked out for me was using this hack community.rstudio.com/t/rstudio-requires-quarto-0-9-80-but-not-available/138913/5. So I downloaded the latest release of the quarto from github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases
The visual mode/editor working as RStudio relies on pandoc being in the quarto/bin folder but in the new Quarto builds they have put it in the quarto/bin/tools folder. So I copied those files and now it becomes available in IDE under New project options!
