'Install Anaconda Navigator with Miniforge (Mac with M1 chip)

I have a MacBook with an M1 chip and have installed miniforge since this will run natively on the M1 chip.

Question: How do I install Anaconda Navigator so that it uses the miniforge environment when I use it to launch Spyder and Jupyterlab? Or is this currently not possible?

If I run conda install anaconda-navigator, I get a PackagesNotFoundError. I believe this is expected.

If I understand correctly, one alternative is to install both miniconda (currently x86 only) and miniforge (e.g. Jeff Heaton's video).
