Installation
Linux
Even though Homebrew-Cask was
created specifically for macOS, most of the scripts provided in the current
repository can be used on Linux. The installation procedure is quite simple:
just clone this repository somewhere on your system and then use install
target of the provided Makefile:
git clone https://github.com/victorpopkov/cask-scripts.git
cd cask-scripts
make installThe same thing goes for uninstallation procedure: just use uninstall target if
you would like to completely remove cask-scripts from your system.
Dependencies
The scripts need jq and xmlstarlet to be installed on your system. To install both on Linux just run:
apt-get install jq xmlstarletmacOS
The easiest way to install these scripts on macOS is using my homebrew-tap repository. You’ll need Homebrew installed and then:
brew install victorpopkov/tap/cask-scriptsAlternatively, you can use install target of the provided Makefile the same way as you would install them on Linux. However, using Homebrew is the more recommended way for macOS, since it also installs all the dependencies.
Running tests
For testing purposes, Bats is bundled
into this project. In order to run the tests simply use test target of the
provided Makefile: make test
