How to fix command not found brew (bash, zsh) on macOS Terminal

code2care@mac bin % brew
zsh: command not found: brew
code2care@mac bin % 

If you get brew command not found error when you run a brew command on zsh (or any other shell like bash) on macOS Terminal, there could be few reasons, 1) you many have not installed brew - if so please follow this article - Installing Brew, 2) you many not have set the PATH for brew,

Adding brew to PATH variable:

1. Open Terminal,
2. Go to /opt/homebrew/bin/ (if you do not find this path - brew is not installed - Article - Installing Brew),
3. Run: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin,
4. Try running the brew version command to validate,

code2care@mac % brew --version
