Hi there, after searching the web I have successfully installed OpenCV on my Mac M1.

1. Probably you don't have brew installed, so here's how you should install it:
   • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   • brew install wget
   • brew install miniforge
   • brew install cmake, you will need cmake for building OpenCV code
2. Then just follow this blog: https://sayak.dev/install-opencv-m1/#Install-conda
   • OR, here is the YouTube video which explains the second step: https://youtu.be/x_kAkabk-5o

P.S. If mdfind cv2.cpython returning an empty string then try to delete the build folder and compile opencv again. Otherwise, you have done everything correctly.
