1. Describe the problem
A Mac user reported that the commands provided for number of CPUs and memory size do not work on Mac at https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/hpc-intro/12-cluster.html#:~:text=EXPLORE%20YOUR%20COMPUTER
2. Propose a solution
add nproc -all -> sysctl -n hw.ncpu and free -h -> sysctl -h hw.memsize as alternative commands
3. Impact on Instructors
This will mean instructors don't have to hunt around when this section doesn't work for Mac users.
4. Impact on Learners
Learners using Mac will have equal access to the lesson materials and delays will be reduced for all learners.
