How can I install Homebrew into /opt/?

I'm on the new M1 MacBook Pro. I'm trying to install gtk+3 (which has native apple silicon support) via Homebrew. First it told me

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 You can migrate your previously installed formula list with: brew bundle dump

I tried to run the terminal via Rosetta 2, but gtk+3 needs ARM support to install, so that didn't work.

I tried to manually unzip the code line in docs.brew.sh in /opt/ but it told me I don't have permission. I tried to sudo it, but to no avail. Any help?

Edit 1: for full message:

brew install gtk+3  
Updating Homebrew...
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!  
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core).  
==> New Formulae  
libbsd  
==> Updated Formulae  
Updated 18 formulae.

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 You can migrate your previously installed formula list with: brew bundle dump

Edit 2: Created a folder called 'Home-brew' in /opt/ and opened terminal there, tried sudo and everything:

oresttokovenko@Orests-MacBook-Pro-2 Homebrew % sudo chmod 755          
Password:

I've used the script written by Noah Rubin;

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nrubin29/bea5aa83e8dfa91370fe83b62dad6dfa/raw/48f48f7fef21abb308e129a80b3214c2538fc611/homebrew_m1.sh)"

worked like a charm! Here is his youtube video on this topic for more info; https://youtu.be/nv2ylxro7rM

Edit: Forgot to mention, this script installs the homebrew into /opt/homebrew

Just for anyone coming across this now, I got the curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 1370) error multiple times until I realised I was running the curl/tar command from my home directory. If I cd into /opt and then run the command, it works as expected.

I solved it running under the Rosetta Terminal

  1. Locate the Terminal application within the Utilities folder (Finder> Go menu > Utilities)

  2. Select Terminal.app and right-click on it, then choose “Duplicate” Rename the duplicated Terminal app something obvious and distinct, like ‘Rosetta Terminal’

  3. Now select the freshly renamed ‘Rosetta Terminal’ app and right-click and choose “Get Info” (or hit Command+i)

  4. Check the box for “Open using Rosetta”, then close the Get Info window Run the “Rosetta Terminal” as usual, which will fully support Homebrew and other x86 command line apps
