How to fix "Zsh: command not found - brew" on MacBook M1 silicon devices

Read Now

Homebrew can be installed on Apple silicon M1 devices but the installation script put the files into this directory
(/opt/homebrew)

So, when you try to use any command like "brew help"
you will get this error message "Zsh: command not found - brew"
which means you have to move homebrew to its correct place under usr/local folder

You can watch the correct process for homebrew installation from here

To correct the installation you have to use these commands separately on terminal

1) Write this command on terminal; and press return

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

2) Then this command on terminal and press return

echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.zshrc

you will see nothing after these commands and this is good.
now, write the command "brew help"
you will find that everything is ok and homebrew is working correctly :)
