start brew cask apps from terminal - homebrew

I installed signal using brew cask (brew cask install signal)
I would like to be able to start the GUI app from terminal by typing signal(e.g.: to run the GUI of emacs [installed using brew cask] I can type emacs)
Maybe there is a way to edit the cask file to create this link?
I understand that I can create an alias in my zsh config file, but I was wondering if that is the correct approach.

You can use open to open any app on macOS, it's not related to homebrew, but you can extend your integration as you see fit. Example: open -a signal.

Return to dbt version 19.1

I am not sure how badly I have hosed this. I updated dbt to v20 globally too soon. I did uninstall v20. I need to return the project to version 19.1. I am running into errors doing this. As background I am running a virtual. I am on macos.
These two commands work as expected:
brew tap dbt-labs/dbt
brew unlink dbt
Then I run brew install dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1
I get (I expect this) Warning: dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1 0.19.1_1 is already installed, it's just not linked. To link this version, run: brew link dbt#0.19.1
Then I run brew link dbt#0.19.1 or brew link dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.19.1 and I get:
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps:
* dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
* fishtown-analytics/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
Please use the fully-qualified name (e.g. dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1) to refer to the formula.
So I try brew link dbt-labs/dbt/dbt#0.12.2-rc1
Disclosure...I code dbt modules but I do not get too far into the installation since I rarely need to do it. Any help would be highly appreciated.
You might find this issue in the dbt-labs/dbt repo helpful.
TL;DR:
You may be running into issues due to the repo name change. It could help to do a full re-install, i.e.:
brew untap fishtown-analytics/dbt --force
brew tap dbt-labs/dbt
brew install dbt#x.y.z
You can then follow the instructions here as normal for managing several versions with homebrew.

Not able to install homebrew on my m1 macbook

I am trying to install homebrew on m1 MacBook but I am getting this error message every time when I try to run this command.
Please anyone help me to fix this.
How to install HomeBrew on new MacBook: macOS Big Sur
install HomeBrew from terminal Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
After installation, we need to change path
Warning: /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH.
==> Installation successful!
To change path, follow Next steps: - Add Homebrew to your PATH in /Users/username/.zprofile As mentioned in terminal:
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/username/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
All done ready to use brew, check HomeBrew version:
brew --version
Output
Homebrew 3.1.5
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 5741ae3fec; last commit 2021-05-08)
Ok, I managed to figure this out after being pointed in the right direction. Full details can be found here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/100633
In summary, my ISPs (Virgin Media) Web Safe Settings were on, and this resulted in some issue with connecting to github (ping GitHub.com via terminal and search the IP to see where its pointing to), so had to turn off the web settings, rebooted my router just in case and used a new terminal window to ping github.com again and noticed a change in the IP address. Tried reinstalling Homebrew again and it worked!!
in my case, i fix the problem open the terminal as rosseta.
finder - application - utility - terminal - right mouse button - 'bring the imformation (i'm not sure, i'm korean user)' - check the 'open with the rosseta' - and try install homebrew again ! !
(copy-paste Homebrew with the terminal)
and...
==> Installation successful!
But, you will get a warning " /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH". Then, follow the Next steps guide showed in terminal to finish add Homebrew to your PATH.
To end, type "brew -v" to check installed brew version.

Installing Wine on Mac OS Catalina. Error: No available formula with the name "wine"

I'm trying to install Wine on my Mac via Brew. I'm using Catalina and just updated brew, installed XQuartz and have Xcode installed. When I type the command "Brew install wine" it returns the following:

I was able to build Wine 64 bit from source on macOS Catalina and successfully run Notepad++ 64 bit on it.
My steps were more or less something like that:
Download Wine 4.20 from https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/4.x/wine-4.20.tar.xz
Extract it
In terminal go to extracted directory
Run: ./configure --enable-win64
It showed that it cannot find some library (I do not remember what exactly) so I installed it with macports (sudo port install name_of_missing_package reported by ./configure)
After I was able to run ./configure --enable-win64 succesfully without errors in terminal run: make
It compiled after more than 30 minutes.
I run it with: ./wine start
It opened windows console and here I was able to cd to Notepad++ 64 bit directory (downloaded from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.0/npp.7.bin.x64.zip note that newest version did not work and throwed some errors about some dll's)
I typed notepad++ to run exe file
It showed some errors about freetype fonts so I installed them with macports and I had to copy them from /opt/X11/lib to /usr/local/lib before wine detected them
After fixing freetype fonts problem I was able to run notepad++
Also you might want to run: sudo spctl --master-disable to disable gatekeeper if you will see some system alerts about loading app from unknown developer.
Also note that instead of ./wine start you can run ./wine explorer for graphical file manager instead of console
Those steps might not be exactly precise, as I'm not sure if I did not miss something but hope it will help someone.
Also note that obviously wine on macOS Catalina will be able to run only some 64 bit windows apps and all 32 bit windows app will not work. I also tested it with IrfanView 64 bit (https://www.fosshub.com/IrfanView.html?dwl=iview453_x64_setup.exe) and it also works fine.
In case you wanted to get wine working for purpose of running 32 bit games then unfortunately it will not work with wine but you can try with virtualbox. You can check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AO8dF0vviQ for some performance improvements tips.
Wine hast been removed from homebrew due to the incompatibility to Macos Catalina
https://discourse.brew.sh/t/issue-with-wine/6188/3
Try using wine64 to run your .exe files after installing wine. The manuals and references don't seem to mention this explicitly.
More Info
I followed the guidance in the wine manual to install using home-brew. After install, I got an error when trying to test the installation like it says in the quickstart.
Install wine-stable using homebrew
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable
After install, test by opening notepad
wine notepad
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine
While uninstalling wine, I noticed one of the linked libraries was called wine64. I immediately reinstalled and tried again using wine64 as the call, as I am using wine on an M1 Mac. This was successful!
You can also use winehelp to get access to more commands that will work with 64bit processor.
Based on https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/46556#issuecomment-559938873 you can do brew cask install wine-stable on newer version of OS X. And works with recent versions of homebrew since the source version was moved :(
How to install wine on Mac OS Catalina with brew
install homebrew with
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
install xquartz to install wine using brew
brew cask install xquartz
install wine using brew
brew install homebrew/cask-versions/wine-devel
run wine and check the version
wine64 --version
As of Wine 5.0 there is no 32bit support on mac in the official version, but you are able to achieve it via the
Unofficial Wineskin Winery
You can download it from github releases here. And then create a Wineskin with WS11WineCX[64/32]bit19.0.[0/1]. All WS11 versions support Catalina. To use it you also need to turn off the no32exec boot argument. You theoretically can do it by typing:
sudo nvram boot-args="no32exec=0"
into the Terminal while you're logged in but it didn't work out for me, so if you'll have the same problem, reboot into the Recovery mode, in the menubar pick Utilities -> Terminal and type just:
nvram boot-args="no32exec=0"
(without sudo).
Example
To be more exact, to install eg. Steam 32bit, you would:
Install the Unofficiall Wineskin Winery from the provided link
Turn on the 32bit execution boot argument by going into Recovery Mode and entering nvram boot-args="no32exec=0" into the terminal
Open Wineskin, click the '+' sign and scroll down to find the WS11WineCX64bit19.0.1 (the newest version with 64 and 32 bit support, at the time of writing)
Click update/install under the Wrapper Version.
Click Create New Blank Wrapper, name it and click through installation of mono and gecko.
Launch the Wrapper App from Finder. Click Install Software, choose setup executable, and proceed through installation. Then pick the executable from a menu. (In case of steam, Steam.exe)
Note: If you get the "No windows app to open the file"(Like I did) error, click advanced -> configuration and set the Windows EXE to the path to the installer. Then find the place that it has installed in and set that as Windows EXE. Then you can run by clicking Test Run.
Enjoy your windows app, as an .app file!
Hope I helped!

"AppleARMPMUCharger" no longer exports Battery Information/Diagnostics when run via idevicediagnostics.exe prior to iOS 12

Up until iOS 11, i've been using the idevice** binaries to extract information from iPhones ranging from models 6 to X via idevicediagnostics.exe on Windows OS via idevicediagnostics ioreg AppleARMPMUCharger.
However, with the release of iOS 12, everything stopped working. What once was a lively file (converted to JSON) i get to export from this command is now an empty xml document. Now i do this because of our Company's Business. We extract battery information as insurance, proof, and history that batteries are as good as they can be. Also to track the Battery Serial and SOH Value while at it.
I've downloaded several updated idevice** binaries and even updated iTunes and Apple drivers but as i'd expect, its broken now. Now, i am looking for alternative ways to do this, are there any other API out there that can do the same job as AppleARMPMUCharger once did? I'm thinking of working on a small iOS Application that will export the data from within the iPhone itself and send it to an FTP or REST API maybe? However, i do not know which registry or namespace to hook it up to.
It's worth noting that CoconutBattery - a MacOS Application that also reads battery information from iPhone still works as expected. Leaving me wonder, how they do it, or what API they are looking at.
Looking for positive responses, cheers.
PS: links routes to the actual files exported when the command is ran.
I had one similar problem which was solved finally by reinstalling the libmobiledevice. I found the instructions from this Github issue. I am posting those instructions here as well for convenience.
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies libimobiledevice
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies ideviceinstaller
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies usbmuxd
sudo rm /var/db/lockdown/*
brew install --HEAD usbmuxd
brew unlink usbmuxd
brew link usbmuxd
brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice
brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller
If you do not have brew installed in your machine, please follow the instruction from this website.
Hence, finally, the reinstallation of libmobiledevice solved the problem.
Can you try to get information using the AppleSmartBattery key instead? See libimobiledevice#823
