Homebrew-Cask

Important December 2015 update: Homebrew-Cask will now be kept up to date together with Homebrew (see #15381 for details). If you havent yet, run brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update to switch to the new system.

Important: At some point in the future Homebrew-Cask will change its behaviour from linking apps to moving them. See issue #13201 for details.


“To install, drag this icon…” no more!

Homebrew-Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to the installation and management of GUI Mac applications such as Google Chrome and Adium.

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

Its implemented as a homebrew external command called cask.

Lets try it!

To start using Homebrew-Cask, you just need Homebrew installed.

$ brew cask install google-chrome
==> Downloading https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg
==> Symlinking App 'Google Chrome.app' to '/Users/Your_Account_Name/Applications/Google Chrome.app'
🍺  google-chrome staged at '/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/google-chrome/latest' (208 files, 184M)

And there we have it. Google Chrome installed with a few quick commands: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.

$ open ~/Applications/"Google Chrome.app"

Reporting Bugs

We still have bugs — and we are busy fixing them! If you have a problem, dont be shy about reporting it on our GitHub issues page. 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:

$ brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup

In addition, if you havent yet, run the following once to switch to the new system:

$ brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update

Finally, if it's been a while since you last updated Homebrew-Cask, you may still have the old phinze/cask tap installed. Run the following to clean up, then try your command again:

$ brew untap phinze/cask; brew untap caskroom/cask; brew update

If the issue persists, please use our bug report template to report the output of running the problematic command with the --verbose flag, along with the output of brew cask doctor.
