The user is never required to use the +graphical user interface. + +## ALPHA-QUALITY SOFTWARE + +Homebrew-Cask works robustly enough that we welcome new users, but the +project is still in early development. That means command names, option +names, and other aspects of this manual are still subject to change. + +## FREQUENTLY USED COMMANDS + + * `install [--force] [--skip-cask-deps] [--require-sha]` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Install Cask identified by <token>. + + * `uninstall [--force]` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Uninstall Cask identified by <token>. + + * `search` <text> | /<regexp>/: + Perform a substring search of known Cask tokens for <text>. If the text + is delimited by slashes, it is interpreted as a Ruby regular expression. + + The tokens returned by `search` are suitable as arguments for most other + commands, such as `install` or `uninstall`. + +## COMMANDS + + * `audit` [ <token> ... ]: + Check the given Casks for installability. + If no tokens are given on the command line, all Casks are audited. + + * `cat` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Dump the given Cask definition file to the standard output. + + * `cleanup` [--outdated]: + Clean up cached downloads and tracker symlinks. With `--outdated`, + only clean up cached downloads older than 10 days old. + + * `create` <token>: + Generate a Cask definition file for the Cask identified by <token> + and open a template for it in your favorite editor. + + * `doctor` or `dr`: + Check for configuration issues. Can be useful to upload as a gist for + developers along with a bug report. + + * `edit` <token>: + Open the given Cask definition file for editing. + + * `fetch` [--force] <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Download remote application files for the given Cask to the local + cache. With `--force`, force re-download even if the files are already + cached. + + * `home` or `homepage` [ <token> ... ]: + Display the homepage associated with a given Cask in a browser. + + With no arguments, display the project page <http://caskroom.io>. + + * `info` or `abv` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Display information about the given Cask. + + * `install [--force] [--skip-cask-deps] [--require-sha]` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Install the given Cask. With `--force`, re-install even if the Cask + appears to be already present. With `--skip-cask-deps`, skip any Cask + dependencies. `--require-sha` will abort installation if the Cask does not + have a checksum defined. + + <token> is usually the ID of a Cask as returned by `brew cask search`, + but see [OTHER WAYS TO SPECIFY A CASK][] for variations. + + * `list` or `ls` [-1 | -l] [ <token> ... ]: + Without any arguments, list all installed Casks. With `-1`, always + format the output in a single column. With `-l`, give a more detailed + listing. + + If <token> is given, summarize the staged files associated with the + given Cask. + + * `search` or `-S`: + Display all Casks available for install. + + * `search` or `-S` <text> | /<regexp>/: + Perform a substring search of known Cask tokens for <text>. If the text + is delimited by slashes, it is interpreted as a Ruby regular expression. + + * `style` [--fix] [ <token> ... ]: + Check the given Casks for correct style using [RuboCop Cask](https://github.com/caskroom/rubocop-cask). + If no tokens are given on the command line, all Casks are checked. + With `--fix`, auto-correct any style errors if possible. + + * `uninstall [--force]` or `rm` or `remove` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Uninstall the given Cask. With `--force`, uninstall even if the Cask + does not appear to be present. + + Note that `uninstall --force` is currently imperfect. It will follow + the `uninstall` instructions from *newest* Cask definition, even if + the given Cask has changed since you installed it. The result is that + `uninstall --force` will always succeed in removing relevant files + under `<Caskroom_path>`, but will sometimes fail to remove relevant + installed files outside of it. This issue is being + addressed. + + `uninstall` without `--force` is also imperfect. It may be unable to + perform an `uninstall` operation if the given Cask has changed since you + installed it. This issue is being addressed. + + * `update`: + For convenience. `brew cask update` is a synonym for `brew update`. + + * `zap` <token> [ <token> ... ]: + Unconditionally remove _all_ files associated with the given Cask. + + Implicitly performs all actions associated with `uninstall`, even if + the Cask does not appear to be currently installed. + + Removes all staged versions of the Cask distribution found under + `<Caskroom_path>/<token>`. + + If the Cask definition contains a `zap` stanza, performs additional + `zap` actions as defined there, such as removing local preference + files. `zap` actions are variable, depending on the level of detail + defined by the Cask author. + + **`zap` may remove files which are shared between applications.** + +## OPTIONS + +To make these options persistent, see the ENVIRONMENT section, below. + +Some of these (such as `--prefpanedir`) may be subject to removal +in a future version. + + * `--force`: + Force an install to proceed even when a previously-existing install + is detected. + + * `--skip-cask-deps`: + Skip Cask dependencies when installing. + + * `--require-sha`: + Abort Cask installation if the Cask does not have a checksum defined. + + * `--caskroom=<path>`: + Location of the Caskroom, where all binaries are stored. The default value is: `$(brew --repository)/Caskroom`. + + * `--verbose`: + Give additional feedback during installation. + + * `--appdir=<path>`: + Target location for Applications. The default value is `/Applications`. + + * `--colorpickerdir=<path>`: + Target location for Color Pickers. The default value is `~/Library/ColorPickers`. + + * `--prefpanedir=<path>`: + Target location for Preference Panes. The default value is `~/Library/PreferencePanes`. + + * `--qlplugindir=<path>`: + Target location for QuickLook Plugins. The default value is `~/Library/QuickLook`. + + * `--fontdir=<path>`: + Target location for Fonts. The default value is `~/Library/Fonts`. + + * `--servicedir=<path>`: + Target location for Services. The default value is `~/Library/Services`. + + * `--input_methoddir=<path>`: + Target location for Input Methods. The default value is `~/Library/Input Methods`. + + * `--internet_plugindir=<path>`: + Target location for Internet Plugins. The default value is `~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins`. + + * `--audio_unit_plugindir=<path>`: + Target location for Audio Unit Plugins. The default value is `~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components`. + + * `--vst_plugindir=<path>`: + Target location for VST Plugins. The default value is `~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST`. + + * `--vst3_plugindir=<path>`: + Target location for VST3 Plugins. The default value is `~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3`. + + * `--screen_saverdir=<path>`: + Target location for Screen Savers. The default value is `~/Library/Screen Savers`. + + * `--no-binaries`: + Do not link "helper" executables to `/usr/local/bin`. + + * `--debug`: + Output debugging information of use to Cask authors and developers. + +## INTERACTION WITH HOMEBREW + +Homebrew-Cask is implemented as a external command for Homebrew. That means +this project is entirely built upon the Homebrew infrastructure. For +example, upgrades to the Homebrew-Cask tool are received through Homebrew: + + brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup + +And updates to individual Cask definitions are received whenever you issue +the Homebrew command: + + brew update + +## OTHER WAYS TO SPECIFY A CASK + +Most Homebrew-Cask commands can accept a Cask token as an argument. As +described above, the argument can take the form of: + + * A token as returned by `brew cask search`, _eg_ `google-chrome` + +Homebrew-Cask also accepts three other forms in place of plain tokens: + + * A fully-qualified token which includes the Tap name, _eg_ + `caskroom/fonts/font-symbola` + + * A fully-qualified pathname to a Cask file, _eg_ + `/usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/google-chrome.rb` + + * A `curl`-retrievable URI to a Cask file, _eg_ + `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/f25b6babcd398abf48e33af3d887b2d00de1d661/Casks/google-chrome.rb` + +## ENVIRONMENT + +Homebrew-Cask respects many of the environment variables used by the +parent command `brew`. Please refer to the `brew`(1) man page for more +information. + +Environment variables specific to Homebrew-Cask: + + * HOMEBREW\_CASK\_OPTS: + This variable may contain any arguments normally used as options on + the command-line. This is particularly useful to make options persistent. + For example, you might add to your .bash_profile or .zshenv something like: + `export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS='--appdir=/Applications --caskroom=/etc/Caskroom'`. + +## SEE ALSO + +The Homebrew-Cask home page: <http://caskroom.io>. + +The Homebrew-Cask GitHub page: <https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask>. + +`brew`(1), `curl`(1) + +## AUTHORS + +Paul Hinze and Contributors. + +Man page format based on `brew.1.md` from Homebrew. + +## 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! |
