Your system is ready to brew.
That’s the output of brew doctor
, not brew cask doctor
.
Can’t reproduce your error.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry for the confusion with cask doctor. I now provided the output of brew cask doctor
.
Is there anything else I can try ? or provide ?

Try installing it manually. Since I can’t reproduce, unless we get more reports of this we won’t look further into it.
I removed steam with brew, downloaded steam installer. Same problem. I'll report that with steam then. Really strange :/
Thanks!!
FYI:
I had to completely remove all steam traces form my Mac (brew cask remove steam
, find /|grep -i steam
, lots of rm
commands).
Then I could install steam from website and it finally worked (without using brew at this point).
@vitorgalvao : I just realised something which might explain why it did not work for me and you could not reproduce:
My main user has NO admin rights ! So when installing the mac I created the user "admin" then I created my user which then has no admin rights.
I am using this 2nd user! In a terminal I do then su - admin
and as admin in the terminal (but logged in as my user!) I ran brew cask install steam
and then as my user I tried to run steam.
Which lead to above problems!
I am going to post another bug that I ran into with vmware-fusion.
Both (this bug and the vmware-fusion bug) are related in that it's something with the permission-system of Mac and that I could resolve them the same way: Don't use brew to install.
And I did install brew as my user by the way.
It's not much but at least you might be able to replicate the problem now I hope.
That might be the reason. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to try and replicate because the issue wasn’t caused by us and we wouldn’t be able to fix it anyway.

FYI: You can use zap
for cleaning up. brew cask zap steam
does the cleaning for you.
General troubleshooting steps
--force
.brew update-reset && brew update
and retried my command.brew doctor
, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.Description of issue
I did all of the above. Tried to reinstall. Tried to uninstall and install again. Tried to remove the downloaded dmg and install again.
Always the same result when launching steam:
“steam_osx” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.
