Definitions

Homebrew

Homebrew is "the missing package manager for macOS". It is designed for installing UNIX tools and other open-source applications. It will quickly download and install them, compiling them from source. Homebrew can install stuff like:

  • vim
  • ffmpeg
  • python

Homebrew Cask

Homebrew Cask extends Homebrew with support for installing binary apps — the kind you normally drag to your Applications folder from DMG files. For example:

  • 3D Slicer
  • Google Chrome

Homebrew Versions

Homebrew Versions lets you install alternate versions of the apps from Homebrew Cask. For example:

  • 3D Slicer Nightly
  • Google Chrome Canary


Steps to update Slicer cask (for maintainers)

Configure git and GitHub SSH keys.

Setup

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

# Install cask-repair
brew install vitorgalvao/tiny-scripts/cask-repair

Update

This automatically creates a pull request in homebrew-versions to update the slicer-nightly cask (a Ruby script) with the new version.

cask-repair --cask-version 4.7.0.26273,676538 --fail-on-error --blind-submit slicer-nightly

Steps to upgrade Slicer app (for users)

Setup

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

# Tell brew to look also in homebrew-versions
brew tap caskroom/versions

# Install Slicer.app (nightly)
brew cask install slicer-nightly

# Install cask-upgrade
brew tap buo/cask-upgrade

Upgrade

Download and install nightly version of Slicer.app:

brew cu slicer-nightly
