brew-cask: Install a cask.
$ brew install --cask ${cask_name}
try on your machine
The command "brew install --cask ${cask_name}" is a Homebrew command used to install applications on macOS.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "brew" is the command-line package manager for macOS, used to install software packages and manage dependencies.
- "install" is a subcommand of Homebrew used to install packages.
- "--cask" is an option that specifies that the package being installed is a Cask package. Cask is an extension to Homebrew that allows the installation of macOS applications and large binaries.
- "${cask_name}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the name of the specific cask package you want to install. For example, if you want to install Google Chrome, you would replace "${cask_name}" with "google-chrome".
So, when you run this command, Homebrew will install the specified cask package on your macOS system.
