## <The problem> ##

when you are using M1 processor Mac PC and execute

If you are reading this article, you are probably someone who has run the brew command and received the following error.

I share a solution to this error!

(The error is caused by M1 Mac.)

## <The solution> ##

cd /opt
    sudo mkdir homebrew
    sudo chown $(whoami):admin homebrew
    curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew

After this step, the brew command will be installed in **/opt/homebrew/bin**

Then, to pass PATH, add to **~/.zshrc** this:

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

You can now use homebrew in **/opt/homebrew/bin** by reloading the terminal with or

source ~/.zshrc

and this time the error and you can use

brew install xxx
