重要通知（不要再去安裝 Homebrew Cask 了）

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

Homebrew Cask is implemented as part of Homebrew. All Homebrew Cask commands begin with brew, which works for both Casks and Formulae. The most frequently-used commands are:

1.install — installs the given Cask

2.uninstall — uninstalls the given Cask

3.reinstall — reinstalls the given Cask

4.list --casks — lists installed Casks

Homebrew Cask 不需要再單獨安裝了，新版的 Homebrew 已經整合了 Cask 全部的功能，不僅如此，在安裝 Cask 時，也不再需要使用類似

brew cask

這樣指令，一律使用指令

brew

即可，了解下面這句話：

All Homebrew Cask commands begin with brew, which works for both Casks and Formulae.

Homebrew Cask 簡介

“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.

Homebrew Cask

相當于

Homebrew

的擴充，差別在于，

brew

指令首先擷取程式源碼然後編譯安裝（包括依賴庫），并自動做好必要的配置（如環境變量等）；而

brew cask

指令是下載下傳已經編譯好的軟體包并放在統一的目錄中。

brew cask

指令用來安裝 Mac 上的 Gui 程式應用包（

.dmg

或

.pkg

），比如 qq、chrome 等。它先下載下傳解壓軟體包到統一的目錄中（

/opt/Homebrew Cask/Caskroom

），省掉了自己去下載下傳、解壓、拖拽（安裝）等步驟。然後再軟鍊到

~/Applications/

目錄下, 非常友善，而且還包含很多在 AppStore 裡沒有的常用軟體。

相關檔案和目錄

Homebrew Cask

是将應用程式放置在

/opt/Homebrew Cask/Caskroom/

下，會在你的家目錄中的『應用程式』檔案夾中建立一個類似快捷方式的替身。
