Casks can deliver specific versions of artifacts depending on the current macOS release or CPU architecture by either tailoring the URL / SHA-256 hash / version, using the [`on_<system>` syntax](Formula-Cookbook.md#handling-different-system-configurations) (which replaces conditional statements using `MacOS.version` or `Hardware::CPU`), or both.
If your cask's artifact is offered as separate downloads for Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, they'll presumably be downloadable at distinct URLs that differ only slightly. To adjust the URL depending on the current CPU architecture, supply a hash for each to the `arm:` and `intel:` parameters of `sha256`, and use the special `arch` stanza to define the unique components of the respective URLs for substitution in the `url`.

@ -96,8 +96,8 @@ We aim to bottle everything.
Homebrew's pre-built binary packages (known as [bottles](Bottles.md)) of many formulae can only be used if you install in the default installation prefix, otherwise they have to be built from source. Building from source takes a long time, is prone to failure, and is not supported. The default prefix is:
* `/usr/local` for macOS on Intel,
* `/opt/homebrew` for macOS on Apple Silicon/ARM, and
* `/opt/homebrew` for macOS on Apple Silicon,
* `/usr/local` for macOS on Intel, and
* `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew` for Linux.
Do yourself a favour and install to the default prefix so that you can use our pre-built binary packages. *Pick another prefix at your peril!*

Another example would be configuration files that should not be overwritten on package upgrades. If after installation you find that to-be-persisted configuration files are not copied but instead *symlinked* into `/usr/local/etc/` from the Cellar, this can often be rectified by passing an appropriate argument to the package’s configure script.
