The instructions are here, and they both include Homebrew instructions and explain how to get around the issue you're facing:

"

If you are running on macOS Big Sur 11.5 or higher you may receive the following error message when installing the package:

"powershell-7.3.1-osx-x64.pkg" cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

There are two ways to work around this issue:

• Using the Finder

• Find the package in Finder.

  • Control-click (click while pressing the Ctrl key) on the package.
  • Select Open from the context menu.

• From the command line

  • Run sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine powershell-7.3.1-osx-x64.pkg. Include the full path to the .pkg file.
  • Install the package as you normally would.

Note

• This is a known issue related to package notarization that will be addressed in the future.
