The `brew upgrade` step fails on an M1 Apple silicon chip

[m2mathew]

Background

I'm moving an existing react-native project from a x86 machine to a machine with the M1 Apple Silicon chip. All works fine on the x86 machine.

The Issue

On a M1 MacBook Pro, I see the following error message in the terminal (also pictured below) when I run react-native-clean-project and select "Y" on all options:

ℹ️  STARTED: "brew upgrade"
(node:93071) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error:

Task "brew upgrade"
Error: Error: Cannot install under Rosetta 2 in ARM default prefix (/opt/homebrew)!
To rerun under ARM use:
    arch -arm64 brew install ...
To install under x86_64, install Homebrew into /usr/local.
.
Exit code: 1

(node:93071) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Other useful info

• This happens if I run it from a locally-installed, up-to-date version or from running npx react-native-clean-project.
• Running brew upgrade or brew update outside of the react-native-clean-project commands works as expected.

Expected Behavior

Run all commands to their end using commands that work with Apple Silicon.

Brew information

Running which brew shows this in my terminal:

/opt/homebrew/bin/brew

This makes sense for an Apple Silicon installation.

Thanks for any help! 😇

I believe your homebrew and the packages are installed in the wrong directories. I've attached a link to an article that might be helpful for you to understand the situation.

@gagtic Thanks for that. I have homebrew installed in the correct place according to the docs and that article. I included this information in my original issue description.

Try the cmd under a rosetta terminal
