“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 CLI workflow for the administration of macOS applications distributed as binaries.
To start using Homebrew Cask, you just need Homebrew installed.
Slower, now:
$ brew install alfred
==> Downloading https://cachefly.alfredapp.com/Alfred_4.2.1_1187.dmg
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'alfred'.
==> Installing Cask alfred
==> Moving App 'Alfred 4.app' to '/Applications/Alfred 4.app'.
🍺 alfred was successfully installed!
And there we have it. An application installed with one quick command: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping.
