On Apple Silicon machines, there's one more step. Homebrew files are installed into the /opt/homebrew folder. But the folder is not part of the default $PATH. Follow Homebrew's advice and create a ~/.zprofile file which contains a command which sets up Homebrew. Homebrew shows instructions at the end of the installation process:

> echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> $HOME/.zprofile
> eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Verify Installation

> brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.
