Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)

Question

I use the latest Apple M1 chip processor. And I keep getting errors while application installation.

say.,

brew install openjdk@11

Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the

For what it's worth, before installing Homebrew you will need to install Rosetta2 emulator for the new ARM silicon (M1 chip). I just installed Rosetta2 via terminal using:

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

This will install rosetta2 with no extra button clicks.

After installing Rosetta2 above you can then use the Homebrew cmd and install Homebrew for ARM M1 chip: arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Once Homebrew for M1 ARM is installed use this Homebrew command to install packages: arch -x86_64 brew install <package>

I had the error `Installing Rosetta 2 on this system is not supported.`, and solved it by doing the following: 1. I had previously set up my terminal to 'run with Rosetta', so I decided to duplicate it and rename the new application 'Rosetta-Terminal' (optional, but good if you need rosetta for other things) 2. Unchecked 'run with rosetta' in 'get info' of 'Terminal'. 3. Quit and Reopen Terminal... ran the command and it worked – Gnardog Mar 03 '22 at 17:15

Homebrew needs to be installed in two places on Apple silicon: in /usr/local for rosetta-emulated (Intel) code, and /opt/homebrew for ARM64. These are somewhat hard-coded and the /opt/homebrew one MUST be used for ARM code, as it stands today, and is non-negotiable. However, it's easy enough to install and you can follow the general instructions on the official docs. You open a Rosetta shell first.

% arch -x86_64 zsh
% cd /usr/local && mkdir homebrew
% curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew

Later, to install tools under intel you can use the arch command per-command or open a zsh terminal as above.

arch -x86_64 /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool

For the ARM architecture, you don't need to use arch but you do need to use the full path of the homebrew command.

/opt/homebrew/bin/brew install sometool

You could rename the brew commands to something like brew86 and brewARM to help keep them separate.

@indojin You can use a ZSH alias. By adding `alias brew86="arch -x86_64 /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew"` and `alias brewARM="/opt/homebrew/bin/brew"` to your `~/.zshrc` file – NBTX Jan 07 '21 at 07:08

@TyConway normally you would want to use ARM unless there's some special reason not to. ARM means you're using the native instruction set for the new Apple ARM chips (M1, M2, etc) instead of using the emulated legacy x86 instruction set. The native instruction set is faster than the emulated legacy instruction set. – Matt Sgarlata Oct 26 '22 at 19:52
Don't forget to run `source ~/.zshrc` after adding new aliases in order to make your terminal recognise them. – Ghasem May 12 '23 at 21:06

There is a lot of helpful info in the replies here, but there doesn't seem to be a direct answer to the original request, "Need help with exact steps to follow."

In case it may help people facing this issue in the future, I'll share the exact steps that I followed to resolve the issue.

The following CLI commands are intended to be run on an Apple silicon-equipped Mac in the built-in Terminal application running the macOS-default shell, Zsh:

Run a Homebrew command to confirm that an error like the following appears:

$ brew install <formula>

Error: Cannot install in Homebrew on ARM processor in Intel default prefix (/usr/local)!
Please create a new installation in /opt/homebrew using one of the
"Alternative Installs" from:
  https://docs.brew.sh/Installation

Or:

$ brew doctor

Warning: Your Homebrew's prefix is not /opt/homebrew.
Some of Homebrew's bottles (binary packages) can only be used with the default
prefix (/opt/homebrew).
You will encounter build failures with some formulae.

If either of these errors appears, it is likely that the steps below are applicable to your case.

Navigate to the /opt folder:
```
$ cd /opt
```
Create a folder named homebrew. By default superuser privileges are required to write inside of the /opt folder, which means that it is necessary to use sudo:
```
$ sudo mkdir homebrew
```
Grant write access to the homebrew folder so that your user can perform the Homebrew installation:
```
$ sudo chmod go+w homebrew
```
Perform the four steps listed on the "Alternative Installs" page (the page mentioned in the first error message in step 1):
1. Install Homebrew:
```
$ curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew
```
2. Set Homebrew's prefix in your current Terminal session:
```
$ eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
```
3. Update Homebrew:
```
$ brew update --force --quiet
```
4. Revoke write access to specific folders and files:
```
$ chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh"
```
Set Homebrew's prefix in future Terminal sessions by adding the necessary command to one of Zsh's startup files. As far as I can tell, .zshrc is the preferred startup file for this type of command:
```
$ echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zshrc
```
Note that if there are any other existing Terminal sessions on your machine that have been open since before running the above command, the correct Homebrew prefix will still be unset in those sessions.

Confirm that Homebrew's prefix is now properly set:

$ type -a brew

brew is /opt/homebrew/bin/brew
brew is /usr/local/bin/brew

Or:

$ brew doctor

Your system is ready to brew.

It should now be possible to continue using Homebrew normally.

This really helped me, but I ran into some errors while following the listed steps. When running `brew update --force --quiet`, right after `Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/homebrew/.git/`, the next line was `fatal: not in a git directory`. [This answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/61001647/4796536) made me think that it's a permission issue, so I created the .git folder manually. After that it looked like it's working, but then it stopped with `Error: update-report should not be called directly!`. Nevertheless, after this, I was still able to use brew properly. — Peter Karsai, Sep 14 '22 at 09:53
@KarsaiPéter, if you run `brew doctor` or `brew config`, are any problems reported? One idea is that Xcode Command Line Tools aren't installed. `xcode-select -p` to check if installed; `xcode-select --install` to install. Another idea is [suggested here](https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/3315#discussioncomment-2842510): Are you using an admin account? Or maybe it would help if your user were the owner of the `/opt/homebrew` folder? Perhaps try `chown -R $USER /opt/homebrew` (with `sudo` if needed) and then reinstall Homebrew. — digitalifeforms, Sep 21 '22 at 14:21
I also got `fatal: not in a git directory /opt/homebrew/.git` error message, even though `brew doctor` shows Your system is ready to brew. Manually adding that .git repo will cause brew doctor to throw : "Warning: Missing https://github.com/Homebrew/brew git origin remote." error message. I then `rm -r /opt/homebrew/.git/` the warning went away from `brew doctor`. I believe this approach is to reuse the old .git repo (for Intel-based CPU installations) instead using the "default" Apple Silicon chip installation. As long as `brew doctor` works, no issues. — Devy, Oct 22 '22 at 20:59

Homebrew is now available for the new apple M1 chip at https://docs.brew.sh/Installation. The script installs in a new location, ‘/opt/homebrew’ instead of ‘/usr/local’ which requires that you implement a couple lines of script after the install, substituting your username. You can copy/paste from the comments in your install. Just don’t skip these steps.

==> Next steps:
- Add Homebrew to your PATH in /Users/[username]/.zprofile:
    echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"' >> /Users/[username]/.zprofile
    eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew [username])"

Note: This works for a clean install of Homebrew on a new machine. If you have already installed an old version of Homebrew and got it working, I believe you need to uninstall that first -or- you may find this a quicker work-around http://blog.wafrat.com/homebrew-on-mac-with-m1/. Not tested.

Probably this error is related running brew on M1/M2 Mac instead instead of Intel based Mac, atleast that was in my case. I had previously restored a Time Machine backup from Intel to M2.

According to the Homebrew documentation, the default installation script installs Homebrew to its preferred /usr/localfor macOS Intel and /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon.

You can well use this, as it worked well for me-

This works but it's missing some steps. After you run the first command make sure you run the two commands brew asks you to run. And after running `brew bundle dump` move the BrewFile created by `brew bundle dump` into `opt/homebrew`. From that directory, run `brew bundle install`. `brew bundle dump` doesn't install the packages, it just creates a BrewFile that tells brew what packages it should install when you run `brew bundle install`. Like a package.json file in node.js. – Dashiell Rose Bark-Huss Mar 18 '22 at 18:11
An additional note to Dashiell's comment: make sure you run `brew bundle dump` with `/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew` or otherwise you'll be executing the newly installed `brew`, which won't have access to the old packages. – Pin Jun 28 '22 at 10:17

I had installed Homebrew using iTerm enabled for the Apple ARM chip (M1), but when using a different terminal program that was Intel-based (and thus opening in Rosetta) I got this error. The latter app is seen as Intel, and thus wants to use the older Homebrew path.

Brew, Git, etc for intel processors vs. the m1 and m2 chips is in different locations, but with migrating from an old mac, Apple doesn't protect users from these issues, and leaves you to solve on your own. In fact, they seem to encourage migrating your incompatible tools.

In latest Macs with M2 processor, this process is most easily, and curiously least documented, accomplished this way:

Uninstall with the uninteractive command:

NONINTERACTIVE=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

Copy the entire two lines above. Here is the link for it.

For some reason that un-installs every version of brew, while the default uninstall command doesn't. To be safe, maybe uninstall with the first command of:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

Then uninstall with the noninteractive. in any event, if you type "brew" in your terminal after the uninstall, you should get an non recognized command, if you don't you have one of the brew's installed.

Now that brew is gone, install:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Found here.

After doing that, brew will give you 2 more commands to install to ensure you can run brew from any directory. Don't skip that. The command is custom for your username.

So I bought a new M1 and migrated to it. I took it back and migrated back. I was receiving this error. Found that I needed to run sudo rm -Rf /opt/homebrew after re-installing brew to get things flowing again. 16G Ram on the M1 didn't replace my workflow with Intel using 64G.
