 ## Troubleshooting
 - Neovide requires that a font be set in `init.vim` otherwise errors might be encountered. This can be fixed by adding `set guifont=Your\ Font\ Name:h15` in init.vim file. Reference issue [#527](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/527).
+- If you installed `neovim` via Apple Silicon (M1)-based `brew`, you have to add the `brew prefix` to `$PATH` to run `Neovide.app` in GUI. Please see the [homebrew documentation](https://docs.brew.sh/FAQ#my-mac-apps-dont-find-homebrew-utilities). Reference issue [#1242](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/1242)
 
 ### Linux-specific
 - If you recieve errors complaining about DRI3 settings, please reference issue [#44](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/44#issuecomment-578618052).
