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

tap from homebrew instead of caskroom:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
user_4632440

//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)

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...

  1. Installing cask
echo "installing caskroom"
brew tap caskroom/cask;
  1. 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
