# NOTICE: The Cask syntax is changing! (8 Sep 2014)
|
|
|
|
There will be a period of transition while we update the Cask DSL to use
|
|
new forms described in [#4688](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues/4688).
|
|
|
|
End users should not notice a difference — but see below about upgrading
|
|
on errors. Cask authors will need to adjust to the new DSL forms.
|
|
|
|
The Cask DSL 1.0 will be documented in [CASK_LANGUAGE_REFERENCE.md](doc/CASK_LANGUAGE_REFERENCE.md)
|
|
and [cask_language_deltas.md](doc/cask_language_deltas.md).
|
|
|
|
Code to support most of the new DSL forms has been in release for several
|
|
weeks; most users are already running forward compatible code<sup>1</sup>.
|
|
|
|
The transition officially begins with version 0.40.0, released 8 Sep 2014.
|
|
Cask definition files will also be changing. If you experience an error
|
|
when running Homebrew-cask, please run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to get the latest code.
|
|
|
|
<sup>1</sup> forward compatibility began with [v0.38.0](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/releases/tag/v0.38.0), released 28 Jul 2014

|
|
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/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/External-Commands)"
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
