I am following an online resource for installing two Mac utilities
http://www.economyofeffort.com/2014/08/11/beyond-ctrl-remap-make-that-caps-lock-key-useful/
Here is the pertinent section:
Install both Karabiner and Seil. (Here again, if you use Homebrew Cask, you can do this with
$ brew cask install karabiner and
$ brew cask install seil
But the cask option is not recognized?
06:51:35/shared $brew cask install seil Error: Unknown command: cask Then, just for laughs I tried the command without the cask:
06:55:01/shared $brew install seil Error: No available formula for seil Searching formulae... Searching taps... Caskroom/cask/seil It is not clear what the last line of output even means: nothing seems to have happened on the system.
I am on Yosemite.

brew cask commands were deprecated on 2020-12-01 with the release of Homebrew 2.6. 0. Starting then, all brew cask commands succeeded but displayed a warning informing users that the command would soon be disabled. The message also provides the appropriate replacement.
brew cask is an extension to brew that allows management of graphical GUI applications. Homebrew Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to OS X applications and large binaries alike. Cask deals with a mixture of software and licences.
You can use the --casks flag in brew search to "display all locally available casks". $ brew search -h Usage: brew search [options] [text|/text/] Perform a substring search of cask tokens and formula names for text. If text is surrounded with slashes, then it is interpreted as a regular expression.
As of 2021, the answer to this question for me was that instead of
brew cask install myprogram I should run:
brew install --cask myprogram If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
