Installing mongodb on M1 Apple Chip with cannot tap mongodb/brew: invalid syntax in tap

Running the command brew tap mongodb/brew: i ran into the following. I ran into the following :

Error: Invalid formula: /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/mongodb/homebrew-brew/Formula/mongocli.rb

formulae require at least a URL

Error: Cannot tap mongodb/brew: invalid syntax in tap!

My Solution :

• Go to Finder > Utilities and right click on Terminal and select "Get Info"

• Find the option "Open using Rosetta" and check it.

• Open new Terminal Run

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

• Run "brew tap mongodb/brew"

After it completes close the terminal and uncheck "Open using Rosetta".

• open Terminal again and then run brew install mongodb-community@4.4.

This did not work for me so i tried this:

• Then run this : arch -arm64 brew install mongodb-community@4.4 And it worked.

I suggest you find the one that works for you. Thanks to these articles.
