Homebrew error running brew tap caskroom/cask [answered]
I am trying to use Sailfish X on an Xperia 10, I had a Jolla phone ages ago, but wanted to give Sailfish another try. I got an Xperia 10 and got the phone running out of the box, downloaded SailfishX, installed homebrew on my Mac then hit 2 problems 1 “brew tap caskroom/cask” fails, need to run homebrew/cask-cask instead (according to error message) and 2 that fails with a “Repository not found” error.
I am way out of my comfort zone with this, so any help would be appreciated! Is the documentation in error or have I done something wrong?
Presumably your Xperia 10 is running Android 9 and satisfied yourself that WLAN, Network data and Camera all working satisfactorily before proceeding? After installing Homebrew did you

Personally I wasted a lot of time with an Xperia 10 as camera works under both Android 9 & 10 but not under Sailfish OS. Instructions for installing Sailfish X using Mac OSX could be better as seem to expect first Linux then Windows to be methods of choice. Whilst I am running OSX Catalina now, first installed Homebrew and android-platform-tools probably back in Mavericks time and know some users mention issues with fastboot & adb upon Catalina unfortunately.I ran this as per the instructions after installing homebrew:
brew tap caskroom/cask
and got the error I mentioned, I didn’t try and run the next step, should I?

elicit and what aboutbrew cask upgrade
? You would need android-platform-tools_r30.0.0I’ll try them tomorrow. All I can say is that I am following the instructions here: https://jolla.com/sailfishx-xperia10-macos/
