Explain how to install HandBrakeCLI with homebrew-cask

[lisamelton]

Wow! I didn't realize HandBrakeCLI was available as a cask. Thanks.

I'll need to try this out first since I don't actually use Cask.

[vitorgalvao]

Feel free to hit me up with any questions. This is pretty straightforward, though:

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask is just shorthand for brew tap caskroom/cask followed by brew install brew-cask (which is what makes brew cask commands available).

brew cask install handbrakecli does what you would expect. Take a look at the cask file for it and you should quickly understand what information it’s getting.

The nightly version is pointing to a different repo simply because we separate nightlies/old versions/betas from the latest stable versions (with some exceptions).

They both do the same: download the file specified in url (a dmg, in this case), unpack it under /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom (configurable) and symlink it to /usr/local/bin (again, configurable).

(Sorry I took so long to reply but I got distracted by my new Retina 5K iMac arriving. :)

I will totally add brew cask install handbrakecli to the README. But I want to re-organize that table, perhaps breaking out the HandBrakeCLI listing altogether. And I want to retain the manual installation instructions just in case.

So, yes, to this change! Just not this change exactly. :)

I'll probably do this tonight after I check in version 4.1 of transcode-video.sh this afternoon.

[lisamelton]

Vítor, I've added the explanation based on your patch. But I didn't merge the patch because I made so many changes to it.

Thank you so much for letting me know about installing HandBrake via Homebrew Cask!

[vitorgalvao]

I definitely like it better, it seems clearer than my submission. handbrakecli isn’t inside backticks on the table, though, is that intentional? Being the name of a tool, it seems like it should be.

[lisamelton]

This is what I get for checking in late at night. :)

Thanks, that'll be fixed shortly.

To uninstall the cask run: brew cask uninstall --force handbrakecli ==> Installing handbrakecli... Error: No available formula with the name "homebrew/core/handbrakecli" ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching taps... Error: No formulae found in taps.

So I (stupidly) ran (without looking at the brew update list):

16.12.27 07:17:29 Host: Verne-iMac5K, ID: varase, Num: 6, Hist: 506, RC: 0 [~] $ brew install handbrakecli Error: No available formula with the name "handbrakecli" ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching taps... Error: No formulae found in taps.

Any idea how to reinstall handbrakecli, or will I just have to do it using the .dmg file?

I don't really recall - was there a man file for handbrakecli?

-- Thanks, Verne

@varase brew install handbrake.

Also, you’re in the wrong repo, as it is deprecated. The correct repo has the correct instructions.

[varase]

Thank you.
