Homebrew-Cask extends [Homebrew ](http://brew.sh ) and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to the installation and management of GUI macOS applications such as Google Chrome and Adium.

We do this by providing a friendly Homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries.

It’ s implemented as a `homebrew` [external command ](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/External-Commands.md ) called `cask` .

$ brew cask install google-chrome
