 After installing, Homebrew will print out some instructions under the Caveats section of its output. It will ask you to do two things: `mkdir ~/.nvm`, and to add some lines to your `~/.bash_profile` (or desired shell configuration file). We recommend that you append `--no-use` to the line that loads nvm, so that you continue to use your Homebrew-sourced Node distribution by default:
 
+If you're using an Apple Silicon Mac, Homebrew will print the following lines that should be added to your desired shell configuration file:
+
+```
+export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
+[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && \. "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" --no-use # This loads nvm
+[ -s "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && \. "/opt/homebrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm"  # This loads nvm bash_completion
+```
+
+Otherwise, for Intel Macs, Homebrew will print:
+
 ```
 export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
 [ -s "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && . "/usr/local/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" --no-use # This loads nvm
