Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead

Question

I try to go through installation process Github on MacOs Catalina

The first step is to execute in Terminal:

cd ~/
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash

But I get Error:

Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.

Then I tried:

brew tap caskroom/cask

But I got the same error. Do you have any suggestions?

Solution 1

You don't need to install cask anymore, you just need homebrew. Try using any cask command

Solution 2

tap from homebrew instead of caskroom:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

Solution 3

//this code error:

brew tap caskroom/fonts
Error: caskroom/fonts was moved.

//the correct code.

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew cask install font-fira-code
brew install --cask font-fira-code (the new working way)

Solution 4

OK, I understand, just type in brew cask, and wait...

I tried entering "cask" in terminal. And the error is "-bash: cask: command not found"

I think I understand. when I wrote brew cask , it gave me options

It's error about file path. It's better that just follow hint Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.

Just install gimp using brew cask install gimp rather than brew tap caskroom/cask && brew cask install gimp. Thanks!

The second line of correct code didn't work for me. The first line did but the second line should be updated to brew install font-fira-code

[Ian Steffy]

@rize the issue is that the 'brew cask' command does not work. Jurgen is correct: 'brew install --cask [name]' is how it is written now
