Homebrew error occurred when I command "brew cask install virtualbox" or "brew cask search google-chrome"
Solution 1
The homebrew-cask repository has moved. Did you try:
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
instead of phinz?
Update:
As Jon Nalley points out, brew install brew-cask
is now deprecated:
Important December 2015 update: Homebrew-Cask will now be kept up to date together with Homebrew (see #15381 for details). If you haven’t yet, run
brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update
to switch to the new system.
Solution 2
brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
Worked for me.
Solution 3
At first, I got the "multiple taps" error:
~ $ brew install brew-cask
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps:
* caskroom/cask/brew-cask
* phinze/cask/brew-cask
Then, I included the full (caskroom) path to brew-cask and it worked:
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew cask install virtualbox
Solution 4
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew install homebrew/completions/brew-cask-completion
That worked for me

I'm trying to install virtual box with brew-cask, but That returns this kind of error and I cannot install virtualbox. I use MacOSX Lion 10.7.5 and homebrew 0.9.5, ruby 2.1.0-p0
I've described the process in Terminal below.
First of all,
brew tap
command is succeeded.$ brew tap phinze/cask Cloning into '/usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze/homebrew-cask'... remote: Reusing existing pack: 32538, done. remote: Counting objects: 36, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (36/36), done. remote: Total 32574 (delta 16), reused 2 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (32574/32574), 11.72 MiB | 379 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (19138/19138), done. Tapped 1 formula It looks like you tapped a private repository. To avoid entering your credentials each time you update, you can use git HTTP credential caching or issue the following command: cd /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze/homebrew-cask git remote set-url origin [email protected]:phinze/homebrew-cask.git
Second, I've already installed brew-cask as below
$ brew install brew-cask Warning: brew-cask-0.35.0 already installed
Third, when I tried to install virtualbox, but it returns this kind of error, and I cannot get install the Virtualbox.
$ brew cask install virtualbox ==> Removing legacy Tap Error: No available cask for virtualbox

tomohitoy about 10 yearsHey Anon, I'm just confirm the appearance of
virtualbox.rb
. There AREvirtualbox.rb
. Is this a problem in repository of brew-cask? Can I correct this with pulling another branch? -
Dair about 10 yearsYeah, sorry about the previous comment/answer... Running it with the new repository tells me
virtualbox
is downloading... Although I haven't finished downloading it yet...

tomohitoy about 10 yearsThank you Annon! I just tried

but I cannot install asbrew install brew-cask
It returnsError: No available formula for brew-cask

Dair about 10 yearsDon't know if this will help, but before following the steps to install brew-cask, try doing a clean install:
brew untap brew-cask
,brew uninstall cask
. -
tomohitoy about 10 yearsAfter re-install of brew-cask, I can install virtualbox etc..!!! Thank you so much Anon!
