再次安装即可。

安装Homebrew cask

Homebrew cask可用于mac应用程序或套件，比如mactex，xtrafinder等。

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

使用Homebrew管理软件

安装软件

比如安装emacs和vim的命令分别如下。

• 安装emacs

brew install emacs --with-cocoa --with-gnutls

• 安装macvim

brew install macvim --with-override-system-vim

• 安装ack和ag，比grep好用

brew install ack ag

• 安装autojump，非常高效的目录跳转工具

brew install autojump

升级软件

• 查看可以升级的软件

brew outdated

• 比如升级macvim

brew upgrade macvim

• 升级所有软件

brew upgrade

查找软件包

比如查找和pdf相关的软件包。

• 查找和pdf相关的软件包

brew search pdf

删除软件包

• 移除macvim

brew uninstall macvim

清除老版本的安装包

Homebrew 会缓存下载的安装包，长时间不清理会占用大量的磁盘空间，因此需要定期清理，清理命令如下：

brew cleanup
