如何使用Homebrew在OS X上为命令行安装Basex？

Question

I'm trying to install BaseX using Homebrew on OS X:

$ brew cask install basex
==> We need to make Caskroom for the first time at /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom
==> We'll set permissions properly so we won't need sudo in the future
Password:
==> Downloading http://files.basex.org/releases/8.1.1/BaseX811.app.tar.bz2
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Symlinking App 'BaseX.app' to '/Users/user/Applications/BaseX.app'
🍺  basex staged at '/opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/basex/8.1.1' (148 files, 153M)
$ basex
-bash: basex: command not found

What exactly needs to be done to run it from command line?

Answer 1

brew cask installs GUI applications into /Applications , not the command line tools. If you want to install the command line tools, run brew install basex (without cask ).

Also compare the cask recipy installing the application

app 'BaseX.app'

with the brew recipy installing the command line tools and creating symlinks to the executables

libexec.install Dir["*"]
bin.install_symlink Dir["#{libexec}/bin/*"]

to get a feeling of the differences.
