Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead

Question

I try to go through installation process Github on MacOs Catalina

The first step is to execute in Terminal:

cd ~/
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash

But I get Error:

Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead.

Then I tried:

brew tap caskroom/cask

But I got the same error. Do you have any suggestions?

You don't need to install cask anymore, you just need homebrew. Try using any cask command

I tried entering "cask" in terminal. And the error is "-bash: cask: command not found" – Paul T. Oct 11 '19 at 11:38

I think I understand. when I wrote brew cask , it gave me options – Paul T. Oct 11 '19 at 11:40
It's error about file path. It's better that just follow hint `Tap homebrew/cask-cask instead`. – Andrew.T Jan 01 '20 at 06:22
Just install gimp using `brew cask install gimp` rather than `brew tap caskroom/cask && brew cask install gimp`. Thanks! – rize Feb 27 '20 at 05:30

@rize the issue is that the 'brew cask' command does not work. Jurgen is correct: 'brew install --cask [name]' is how it is written now – Ian Steffy Sep 23 '21 at 12:19

//this code error:

brew tap caskroom/fonts
Error: caskroom/fonts was moved.

//the correct code.

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew cask install font-fira-code
brew install --cask font-fira-code (the new working way)

The second line of correct code didn't work for me. The first line did but the second line should be updated to brew install font-fira-code – stegnerd Feb 18 '21 at 21:27

OK, I understand, just type in brew cask, and wait...

You don't need to install cask now. But the command has changed a bit. Like if you want to install java, you need to use:

brew install --cask homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8

I had the same issue and had to do the following...

Installing cask

echo "installing caskroom"
brew tap caskroom/cask;

Then I was able to install applications as normal (e.g. Java)

echo "installing java"
brew cask install java;
java -version;

I found this question while reading the book, Docker Up and Running. While working through the installation chapter, I was working through installing Virtual Box on my Mac and encountered the problem referenced by this question. Note that at the time of this answer, for Macs, at least, you don't need to install Cask, as stated above. However, you also can't run the brew cask <my-command> anymore either. You'll instead need to run Cask commands in the form:

brew <my-command> --cask

I hope this helps you as it helped me.

If you do not have homebrew installed on your mac, you can install it via

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

To install java(latest version) just use below command

brew install java
