Installing Homebrew on Apple Silicone

/usr/bin/ruby -e "%(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

In case there is any warning such as,

/opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH

create .zshrc on home directory (If it was not created yet). Just run the command below on a zsh terminal:

touch .zshrc

Then open it to edit with TextEdit (Is a hidden file. You can show hidden files with “shift” + “command” + “.” ) or type,

nano ~/.zshrc

and add the line below at the end of .zshrc.

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH

Next open your terminal again and run:

source ~/.zshrc

Now just run this command to be sure that everything is working:

brew help
