Getting Up To Date

The original tap wasn't being updated, and Howard Oakley continues to update his apps as well as create new ones, and occasionally deprecates some. I plan on eventually getting the tap current with the Downloads section as well as update based on the Updates RSS feed.

The Tap

Howard Oakley at EclecticLightCo has a fantastic array of utilities for macOS. Most of them do have the ability to check for updates, but not all of them. They also don't use the Sparkle framework for updating, so it's more labor-intensive and a little bit of a hassle to update compared to the majority of apps for macOS.

Matthew Stickler had a tap sticklerm3/pourhouse, which was a great start, but it hasn't been updated in over 3 years.

At the moment, this README doesn't have the current Homebrew syntax, but one thing at a time...

Getting Started

First you need Homebrew installed if you don’t already. To install open Terminal and paste the following:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Verify everything installed correctly by running brew doctor then you can add my tap by running:

brew tap evansthompson/homebrew-eclecticlightco

This creates a shallow clone of evansthompson/homebrew-eclecticlightco to $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/evansthompson/homebrew-eclecticlightco.

Then, you can continue to use brew cask install <formula> for anything unless for some reason there’s another cask with the same name, simply identify the tap before the formula: brew install --cask evansthompson/homebrew-eclecticlightco/<formula>

Or install via URL (which will not receive updates):

brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evansthompson/homebrew-eclecticlightco/master/Casks/<formula>.rb

CLI Tools

I’m still newer at writing formula/Ruby so bear with me here. The following are CLI utilities that are installed using brew cask as their binaries are already compiled. Use the same syntax to install as above (brew cask install alisma)

App Vers. Min. OS Formula Name
alisma 2.0 El Capitan alisma
Blowhole 9.0 Sierra blowhole
cmpxat 2.0 El Capitan cmpxat
silnite 4.0 El Capitan silnite
unorml 3.0 Sierra unorml

Advanced Usage

Update homebrew with brew update. Upgrade any updated formula and casks with brew cask upgrade.

For more information on using the brew command run brew help or man brew or check Homebrew's documentation.

Contributing

If you notice an error, have a contribution or an update, feel free to fork the repo & submit a pull request! If creating/updating a cask formula be sure it’s properly filled out and passes the tests. I created this tap as a place for awesome MacOS software that wasn’t included in the core cask repository, if you have any awesome MacOS applications that you think I should include, don’t be afraid to suggest it, or even better: fork me and create a pull request!
