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
