The first thing you need to do is open the Terminal app on your Mac. You can find it in the Applications/Utilities folder, or use Spotlight search by pressing Command + Spacebar. Once the Terminal is open, copy the following command and paste it into the terminal:

`export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH`

Then, click the Edit button with Text Editor option to open the `.zshrc` file in a text editor. This file is hidden, so you'll need to use the Finder app to locate it.

Locating the Hidden .zshrc File

To access the hidden file, click on the Finder icon in the dock and make sure it's active. Then, press the Command + Shift + period (.) keys to show hidden files. You should now see the `.zshrc` file in your home directory.

Creating a New Directory

Now that you have located the `.zshrc` file, create a new directory by running the following command in the terminal:

`mkdir ~/bin`

This will create a new directory called `~/bin` where Homebrew will install its executables.

Installing Homebrew

Next, run the following command to install Homebrew:

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

This script will download and install Homebrew on your Mac. You may see some warnings during the installation process, but don't worry, they're just normal part of the installation.

Adding Homebrew to Your PATH

After successful installation, you'll need to add Homebrew to your PATH. To do this, open the `.zprofile` file in a text editor and add the following line:

`eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)`

Save the changes and restart your terminal.

Verifying the Installation

To verify that everything is working correctly, run the following command in the terminal:

`brew --version`

You should see the version number of Homebrew printed on the screen. If you encounter any issues during installation, try reinstalling Homebrew or seeking help from online forums.

With these steps, you should now have Homebrew installed and ready to use on your Mac with M1 chip. Happy brewing!
