The previous instructions incorrectly set GOROOT to '/opt/homebrew/bin/go', which points to the Go binary rather than the Go root directory. This caused errors when running Go commands on Apple Silicon-based Macs. I updated the instructions to dynamically determine the correct GOROOT path using Homebrew, ensuring compatibility across different environments. This change resolves the 'go: cannot find GOROOT directory' issue on M1/M2 Macs.

This PR addresses an issue in the setup instructions for Apple Silicon Macs. The previous configuration for GOROOT pointed to '/opt/homebrew/bin/go', which resulted in an error: 'go: cannot find GOROOT directory'.
By dynamically determining the correct GOROOT path using Homebrew's installation path, this fix ensures compatibility with M1/M2 Macs. These changes resolve the issue for users following the README on Apple Silicon Macs.
