Error: Installing casks is supported only on macOS

I get the error "Error: Installing casks is supported only on macOS" when executing chtf 1.1.6 whether in a zsh or bash shell on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

➜ ~ brew --version
Homebrew 3.4.3
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 93ad38a33b3; last commit 2022-03-22)

Hi,

Yes, as far as I know, the Homebrew Casks are indeed not supported on Linux. And in any case the homebrew-terraforms repository doesn't have any support for Linux.

So it seems that the logic in chtf is flawed, as it only checks if brew command is available. I guess we should verify the OS being MacOS to use Homebrew.

In the meanwhile, you can enforce installation method by specifying an environment variable:

CHTF_AUTO_INSTALL_METHOD=zip

OK I'll try this workaround, thanks a lot for the quick response!

Let’s keep the issue open. I think the logic should be improved.
