Error with M1 Native Installation of MySQL with Homebrew

I just got my first MacOS system with an M1 chip and I'm having trouble installing the native M1 version of MySQL using Homebrew. I have my terminal configured without Rosetta and I'm using the command "brew install MySQL" but I get this error:

ritvikbiswas@Ritviks-MacBook-Pro ~ % brew install mysql
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
ritvikbiswas@Ritviks-MacBook-Pro ~ %

Could anyone help me figure out why I'm getting this error? Maybe I messed up the brew installation somewhere?

First, uninstall (if you have wrongly installed it).

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

Install:

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

After successful installation, you can get this message in terminal

  • Run these three commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:
echo '# Set PATH, MANPATH, etc., for Homebrew.' >> /Users/userName/.zprofile
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/userName/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Then set the homebrew to the right path

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

You installed Homebrew into the wrong place. On x86 Mac, Homebrew uses /usr/local. On M1 Mac, Homebrew uses /opt/homebrew. I don't know where you copied and pasted the installation script. You obviously made a wrong installation.

Please go the official installation guide page. And

  1. Uninstall your current homebrew
  2. Reinstall homebrew back correctly following the guide.
