I have installed vagrant and virtualbox on my Mac using brew cask. I want to uninstall virtual box. I get the following error when I run the brew cask uninstall virtualbox
Error: virtualbox is not installed
I can clearly see that virtualbox is installed on my machine and it appears in launcher section. I also see virtualbox, when I run the following command.
$brew cask list
adium adobe-reader consul google-chrome iterm2 java6 osxfuse vagrant virtualbox xquartz
Am I missing something here which prevents me to uninstall virtualbox. Any help would be appreciated.
As #gaussblurinc stated, installing and and uninstalling works.
brew cask install virtualbox
wait for it to complete....
brew cask uninstall virtualbox
This same solutions works for virtualbox-extension-pack.
This is a bug #2580 -> #14058 in brew cask list. You can hard remove all existing casks with:
rm -rf /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/virtualbox
or
brew cask zap virtualbox
You can then reinstall.
This alternative to force the uninstallation.
brew uninstall --cask virtualbox --force
Regards!

I have an issue with last version of virtualbox on MacOS M1, and apparently, I can use an older version to fix it
I tried :
brew cask install virtualbox#6.1.26
brew cask reinstall virtualbox#6.1.26
brew reinstall virtualbox#6.1.26
brew install --cask virtualbox#6.1.26
brew install virtualhost.sh#6.1.26
I also tried to install latest virtualbox with
brew reinstall virtualbox
and switch the version with :
brew switch virtualbox 6.1.26
But nothing works, any idea ?
You have to follow a three stepped guideline :
Cask file
Modify the Cask file
Reinstall your package
This link is helping you during the process :
Homebrew Cask to install specific version of package
My current version is 81.0.4044.69 and I want to update to the latest version 83.0.4103.39
When I open Terminal and I do:
brew cask install chromedriver
It says:
Warning: Cask 'chromedriver' is already installed.
How can I update to the latest version 83.0.4103.39?
UPDATE: Now you can also do:
brew update
brew upgrade chromedriver
or
brew update
brew upgrade --cask chromedriver
Also be aware that after each upgrade you will get again a system warning when using the chromedriver for the first time so you need to click Cancel in the warning and then go to "Preferences => Security & Privacy" and click "Allow Anyway" to accept the risk. Then on the next run, you'll have to click "Open" once.
Note: The answer below was given for an older version and may not work anymore
I found out that I should do:
brew update
brew cask upgrade chromedriver
Another option is to uninstall and install it again like this:
brew cask uninstall chromedriver
==> Uninstalling Cask chromedriver
==> Unlinking Binary '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'.
==> Purging files for version 81.0.4044.69 of Cask chromedriver
brew cask install chromedriver
==> Downloading https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/83.0.4103.39/chromedriver_mac64.zip
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'chromedriver'.
==> Installing Cask chromedriver
==> Linking Binary 'chromedriver' to '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'.
🍺 chromedriver was successfully installed!
Now:
chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39 (ccbf011cb2d2b19b506d844400483861342c20cd-refs/branch-heads/4103#{#416})
I would recommend start using webdriver-manager:
pip install webdriver-manager
what I prefer mostly and use it like:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
with that package you should not worry about version of chromedriver, even though, you can even choose particular chrome driver version:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager(version='86.0.4240.22').install())
it is not the solution of the ticket, but it makes live easier working with chromedriver
Now its just brew upgrade chromedriver no longer cask
Uninstalling & installing the chromedriver worked -
brew uninstall chromedriver
brew install --cask chromedriver
I have recently have issues where I would receive a warning about chromedriver's developer not being trusted. To resolve this I use brew info chromedriver which gives the directory for chromedriver. Change into that directory and type ls -l and if the code like drwxr-xr-x has an # at the end, that means your mac has quarantined that file. To pull it out of quarantine, type xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver. Then you should be good to go.
When I initially ran the following commands,
brew upgrade chromedriver
brew upgrade --cask chromedriver
brew uninstall chromedriver
I got the error below.
Error: Cask 'chromedriver' is not installed.
So I had to remove the chromedriver not managed by Homebrew first.
rm `which chromedriver`
After that, brew install chromedriver successfully installed the latest version.
i want to install virtual box on mac os EI Captain with homebrew and also if i want to install more packages with homebrew how can i know that package is available in homebrew?
Thanks
First, you’ll need the command-line tools for Xcode installed. On a modern Mac OS X system, you can install these just by running the following command in a Terminal window. You could also install the full Xcode application from Apple, if you prefer — but that takes up more space on your Mac and isn’t necessary.
xcode-select --install
Next, install Homebrew. You can just open a Terminal window, copy-paste the following command, and press Enter:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
This script informs you what it will do. Press Enter and then provide your password to install it. By default, it installs Homebrew so you can use the brew command without typing the sudo command and providing your password.
Run the following command once you’re done to ensure Homebrew is installed and working properly:
brew doctor
Once you’re done, run the following command to install Homebrew Cask. It uses Homebrew to install Cask:
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
Now you can install the Virtual box by entering the following commands
brew install vagrant-completion
brew cask install virtualbox
brew cask install vagrant
brew cask install vagrant-manager
For knowing that your package is available or not you can search your desire package by the following commands
For Open-Source Utilities
brew search name-of-your-package
For graphical Apps
brew cask search name-of-your-app
For installing Graphical Apps run
brew cask install name-of-your-app
For installing Open-Source Utilities run
brew install name-of-your-package
When I type in:
brew install wine
That should install Wine 2.0.3, right? (the latest release)
But I want to install a specific version of wine: wine 3.0 rc2
What would the command to do this be if I'm using homebrew? I've tried
brew install wine-devel
But it gives me this error:
Error: No available formula with the name "wine-devel"
Any help? Thanks!
Currently wine-devel has been moved to caskroom/versions. Therefore in order to install wine-devel you have to
Tap caskroom/versions, by running brew tap caskroom/versions
Update homebrew (...just to be sure) by running brew update
Finally install wine-devel by running brew install caskroom/versions/wine-devel
caskroom/versions was moved to homebrew/cask-versions.
The following will work:
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install homebrew/cask-versions/wine-devel
You will be asked for your password.
Then you should be able to start executables as follows:
wine /path/to/app.exe
I was trying to install wine-devel, but ran into a similar problem. It seems that the answers here may each have been relevant on a different year, as the casks have moved around back and forth. So here's the latest on the situation, and some info on how to handle it in future.
The official instructions (as of 4th April 2020) say to run brew cask install wine-stable. However, that leads to an error:
$ brew cask install wine-stable
Error: Cask wine-staging exists in multiple taps:
homebrew/cask-versions/wine-staging
caskroom/versions/wine-staging
This means that two potential casks were found, each with the same name, yet each on a different repository, and Homebrew was unsure which one to install.
Running this command gave me a clue about what was going on:
$ brew tap caskroom/versions
Error: caskroom/versions was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-versions instead.
So I learned that you can untap third-party repositories, and untapped the one that the message seemed to advise not to tap WINE casks from.
$ brew untap caskroom/versions
Untapping caskroom/versions...
Untapped 156 casks (463 files, 56.7MB).
$ brew cask install wine-stable
... Success!
To install the development version just pass --devel
brew install --devel wine
I can't find where I can get the GUI tool for CMake on MacOSX. I see references to it online but nothing else. I got CMake using MacPorts but on Windows I am used to using the GUI.
Does it exist on Mac and where/how do I get it?
you need to install the gui variant:
sudo port install cmake +gui
you may need to run sudo port uninstall cmake first.
Cask is outdated now. You can install cmake using:
brew install --cask cmake
Try installing the cmake GUI using brew cask
brew cask install cmake
how to install brew cask
Install Homebrew first How to install homebrew
Add the brew cask to using the command brew tap caskroom/cask
here it is:

extra plugins will imported by their own extensions so no OS compatibility is needed ;)
