Brief summary of issue:

Homebrew is installed in /opt/homebrew/bin/brew on the Apple M1. Is there a way to detect arch type and look for brew in the correct directory?

The complete command that you issued:

brew install -v nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module --with-geoip2-module

Gist with output of brew doctor:

❯ brew doctor

with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and which additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew-provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
  /Users/jshah/.pyenv/shims/python2-config
  /Users/jshah/.pyenv/shims/python2.7-config
  /Users/jshah/.pyenv/shims/python-config

I also tried installing brew on Rosetta 2 using https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64963370/error-cannot-install-in-homebrew-on-arm-processor-in-intel-default-prefix-usr as a guide but still no luck.

I have the same problem on Apple M1
