mac上通过brew cask安装软件提示：Error: Unknown command: cask

Question

mac系统big sur 11.1，mac上通过brew cask安装软件提示：Error: Unknown command: cask，再次安装cask提示：caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask instead.

Answer 1

昨天安装也遇到了这个问题,我看了homebrew-cask的github介绍,有这么一句:To start using Homebrew Cask, you just need Homebrew installed.

我就尝试用brew search typora进行了搜索,可以直接搜索到,然后我就执行brew install typora,出现下面的情况:

brew install typora
==> Tapping homebrew/cask
Cloning into '/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask'...

它是在clone homebrew-cask,所以我手动去创建了目录,换了源进行了下载:

k@Mini homebrew-cask % pwd
/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
k@Mini homebrew-cask % git clone git://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/homebrew-cask.git /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask
Cloning into '/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask'...

下载完成后,我就又去尝试了一下安装:

k@Mini homebrew-cask % brew install typora

🍺  typora was successfully installed!

到这里安装成功了,以后应该并用brew cask命令去安装了,直接用brew 就可以了.希望可以帮到你.
