# Homebrew-Cask
|
|
|
|
_“To install, drag this icon…” no more!_
|
|
|
|
Let's see if we can get the elegance, simplicity, and speed of Homebrew for the
|
|
installation and management of GUI Mac applications such as Google Chrome and Adium.
|
|
|
|
Homebrew-cask provides a friendly homebrew-style CLI workflow for the
|
|
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)
|
|
called `cask`.

|
## Let's try it!
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
|
|
$ 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
|
|
```
|
|
And there we have it. Google Chrome installed with a few quick commands: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ open ~/Applications/"Google Chrome.app"
|
|
```

## Reporting Bugs
|
|
|
|
We still have bugs -- and we are busy fixing them! If you have a problem, don't
|
|
be shy about reporting it on our [GitHub issues page](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues?state=open). Always search for your issue before posting a new one.
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
homebrew-cask, and all Taps by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the issue persists, please run the problematic command with the `--verbose` flag
|
|
and post its and `brew cask doctor`'s outputs in distinct [fenced code blocks](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#fenced-code-blocks).
