Let's see if we can get the elegance, simplicity, and speed of Homebrew for the
|
2013-12-08 02:16:58 +08:00
|
|
|
installation and management of GUI Mac applications such as Google Chrome and Adium.

Homebrew-cask provides a friendly homebrew-style CLI workflow for the
|
2012-03-05 10:46:30 +08:00
|
|
|
administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries.
|
|
|
|

|
|
It's implemented as a `homebrew` "[external command](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/External-Commands.md)"
|
2014-09-08 21:33:33 +08:00

called `cask`.

## Let's try it!
|
2013-09-19 23:14:57 +08:00
|
|
|
```sh
|
2014-07-21 13:52:11 +08:00
|
|
|
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
|
2013-09-19 23:14:57 +08:00
|
|
|
$ brew cask install google-chrome
|
|
|
|
|
=> Downloading https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg
|
|
|
|
|
=> Success! google-chrome installed to /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/google-chrome/stable-channel
|
|
|
|
|
=> Linking Google Chrome.app to /Users/phinze/Applications/Google Chrome.app
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
2013-12-08 02:16:58 +08:00
|
|
|
And there we have it. Google Chrome installed with a few quick commands: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.
|
2013-09-19 23:14:57 +08:00
|
|
|
```sh
|
2014-09-16 20:30:12 +08:00
|
|
|
$ open ~/Applications/"Google Chrome.app"
|
2013-09-19 23:14:57 +08:00

```

We still have bugs -- and we are busy fixing them! If you have a problem, don't
|
2014-05-03 23:16:12 +08:00
|
|
|
be shy about reporting it on our [GitHub issues page](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues?state=open).

When reporting bugs, remember that homebrew-cask is an independent project from
|
|
|
|
|
Homebrew. Do your best to direct bug reports to the appropriate project. If
|
|
|
|
|
your command-line started with `brew cask`, bring the bug to us first!

Before reporting a bug, make sure you have the latest versions of Homebrew,
|
|
|
