Okay, so I think this is what happened to me: 1) I had brew installed on my Intel Mac 2) I got an Apple Silicon Mac 3) I setup my new Mac by copying over Intel Mac harddrive 4) I now have two brew's installed on my machine: a) /usr/local/bin/brew (for intel macs & cross-compiling) b) /opt/homebrew/bin/brew (for (for apple silicon) 5) The wrong brew was in my path (a) Looking through our getting started docs, we seem to reference both /usr/local/... and opt/homebrew/... Update the installation document to mac this and related issues more clear for new users who might run into this problem. Changelog-None
