BrewThe RoachNet cask

Install

brew tap --force RoachWares/roachnet
brew install --cask roachnet
open ~/RoachNet/app/RoachNet.app

What the cask does

It's more than a brew install in a trenchcoat. The cask runs RoachNet's own installer:

• It downloads the same RoachNet-Setup-macOS.dmg as the release and checks it against the published SHA-256. For 1.1.4 that's 3c9cbefc3d68a0eddd633b74dbcda06d56931a4a6176283d5a597de6950305fe.
• It puts RoachNet Setup in ~/RoachNet/setup, then runs Setup's headless installer, roachnet-runtime --install. That's the same install the Setup app does, with the companion bridge left off.
• The app lands in ~/RoachNet/app and your data in ~/RoachNet/storage. Existing storage is kept.

The companion bridge stays off until you turn it on in the app, which you only need to pair a phone. See Install the iOS companion.

Upgrade

brew upgrade --cask roachnet

An upgrade runs the installer over the existing install and keeps ~/RoachNet/storage.

If brew update shows an error for roachwares/roachnet, run brew update-reset "$(brew --repo roachwares/roachnet)" once.

Remove

# removes RoachNet Setup; the app and ~/RoachNet/storage stay
brew uninstall --cask roachnet
