-    brew install timescaledb libpq
+    echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@17/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

+1.  **Add the $TIMESCALE_DB Homebrew tap**
 
     ```bash
-    brew link --force libpq
+    brew tap timescale/tap
     ```
 
-    On Intel chips, the symbolic link is added to `/usr/local/bin`. On Apple
-    Silicon, the symbolic link is added to `/opt/homebrew/bin`.
