@gidds The question and the answer is about manually installing command-line binaries in general. They can (and should) go into /usr/local/bin even on Apple Silicon, and for sure not into /opt/homebrew/bin.

May be worth adding that this answer describes only the versions of Homebrew running on Intel. (Not surprising since that's all there was when it was written!) On ARM (Apple M1,…), Homebrew instead installs into /opt/homebrew, which must be added to the PATH as shown above.

Starting with Yosemite, /usr/local/bin was moved to the beginning of PATH instead of the end of PATH. This allowed new commands, with the same name as old commands, to have precedence.

Use .bash_profile to set your local path.
