Homebrew-Cask

“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 macOS applications such as Atom and Google Chrome.

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

Lets try it!

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

Installing Atom (animated gif)

Slower, now:

$ brew cask install atom
==> Satisfying dependencies
complete
==> Downloading https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.8.0/atom-mac.zip
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Verifying checksum for Cask atom
==> Moving App 'Atom.app' to '/Applications/Atom.app'
==> Symlinking Binary 'apm' to '/usr/local/bin/apm'
==> Symlinking Binary 'atom.sh' to '/usr/local/bin/atom'
🍺  atom was successfully installed!

And there we have it. Atom installed with one quick command: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.

Reporting bugs

If you ignore this guide, your issue may be closed without review.

Before reporting a bug, run brew update-reset && brew update and try your command again. This will ensure the problem isnt an outdated setup on your side. Note this command is a fix-all that will reset the state of all your taps, so if you have changes on those that you want to keep, deal with them first.

If your issue persists, search for it before opening a new one. If you find an open issue and have any new information not reported in the original, please add your insights. If you find a closed issue, try the solutions there.
