Describe the bug
I am on a m2 mac machine. The homebrew installation path is /opt/homebrew. But, the keybase-related cli commands are being installed into /usr/local/bin.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install keybase on an arm mac using homebrew
  2. Run the keybase client
  3. In a Terminal session, list the files in the /usr/local/bin folder - and see that there's a different copy of the command (which is in effect a symbolic link to the same real execuable)
  4. To be able to use the cli, I will then have to manually ensure that the zsh configuration files includes this folder in the PATH env var.

Expected behavior
Since the /opt/homebrew/bin folder is present in the local machine and the PATH environment variable includes that for arm machines, I would have expected the symlink also to be created in that folder.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
