How to install formulas and casks
brew install <formula or cask>
In some cases, a formula and a cask have the same name (e.g., openemulator).
You may pass --formula or --cask to brew install to disambiguate. Refer
to Homebrew's documentation for further details about these and other commands,
or if you are unfamiliar with the terminology.
Examples:
brew install --formula openemulator
brew install --cask openemulator
brew install cadius
brew install gsport
Some formulas or casks in this repository may already exist in Homebrew. In
such cases, if you want to refer to the formula or cask in this repository
(e.g., because it contains a more up to date version), you must use
lifepillar/homebrew-appleii/<name> as the argument for brew install.
