Homebrew (brew install minikube) is installing amd64 'minikube' on Macbook Air with M1. while running any minikube command, it prints following message:
╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

minikube version: v1.25.2
I think when I installed Homebrew, it wasn't ported to M1, but later I upgraded it, uninstalled and re-installed it, but still same problem.
Any Idea how can I install correct version with Homebrew?
I know, I can install specific arm64 version with sudo install, but I prefer to manage packages with Homebrew.
Found the issue and posting solution here for someone who might get the same issue. Rare, but could happen... :-)
The problem was that the Terminal application was running under Rosetta. The Homebrew installation script runs command /usr/bin/uname -m to check system architecture. Running this command in a Terminal which runs in Rosetta, returns amd64 architecture, hence homebrew assumes it to be Intel Mac.
To remove Terminal from running under Rosetta, Go To: Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal. Right click on Terminal and select Get Info. Uncheck checkbox: 'Open in Rosetta'. Quit Terminal Application.
Restart Terminal Application and test with command /usr/bin/uname -m. It should print arm64
Note: before doing all this, remove Homebrew and all its files/folders.
