简介

Homebrew是一款包管理工具，目前支持macOS和linux系统。主要有四个部分组成: brew、homebrew-core 、homebrew-cask、homebrew-bottles。

brew和brew cask的区别？

brew 装的主要是 command line tool。
brew cask装的大多是有gui界面的app以及驱动，brew cask是brew的一个官方源。
二者并无竞争关系，所以也不存在你说的更推荐brew cask。brew装的东西比较偏向开发，而brew cask装的东西会相对生活化一些。

官方解释
https://brew.sh
Homebrew is the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn’t include with macOS.
http://caskroom.github.io
Homebrew-Cask extends Homebrew and brings its elegance, simplicity, and speed to macOS applications and large binaries alike.
