Homebrew Cask

安装

安装 Homebrew-cask 是如此的简单直接，运行以下命令即可完成：

$ brew tap phinze/homebrew-cask

OS X 图形界面程序

$ brew cask install alfred
$ brew cask install appcleaner
$ brew cask install cheatsheet
$ brew cask install dropbox
$ brew cask install google-chrome
$ brew cask install onepassword
$ brew cask install sublime-text
$ brew cask install totalfinder
...

译注： 译者本人并不喜欢 brew cask 的安装方式，更倾向于到 App Store 或官方下载 OS X 图形界面程序。主要因为名字不好记忆、偶尔需要手动更新，另外当你使用 Alfred 或 Spotlight ，你将发现将程序安装在 ~/Application 会很方便。

Alfred 是个很不错的东西，推荐必须安装。它默认搜索目录不包含brew cask安装的软件，因此手动将/opt/homebrew-cask添加到Alfred的搜索目录

系统服务管理

• brew services 命令安装

安装完 homebrew 默认是没有这个命令的，通过 brew services 可以方便地管理通过 homebrew 安装的服务进程，比如 nginx, mysql 等

brew tap homebrew/services

Install and start service mysql at login

$ brew install mysql
$ brew services start mysql

Stop service mysql:

$ brew services stop mysql

Restart service mysql:

$ brew services restart mysql

Install and start dnsmasq service at boot

$ brew install dnsmasq
$ sudo brew services start dnsmasq

SYNOPSIS

# [<sudo>] `brew services` `list`<br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `restart` <formula><br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `start` <formula> [<plist>]<br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `stop` <formula><br>
# [<sudo>] `brew services` `cleanup`<br>
