Question

Are there any plans to publish VMPal on Homebrew (as a Homebrew Cask)?

Ideally, the Homebrew package would also include the VMPal CLI, so it gets installed and linked into PATH automatically, with no need to set up the CLI manually.

Why it would be helpful

  • Easy install with a single command, e.g. brew install --cask vmpal
  • VMPal CLI available right after install, with no manual setup step
  • Easy updates for both the app and the CLI via brew upgrade, keeping their versions in sync
  • Many developers set up new Macs with a Brewfile, so being on Homebrew makes VMPal easy to include in automated setups
  • Similar tools like Docker Desktop and OrbStack are already available via Homebrew Cask (and also install their CLIs)

If it's not planned yet, it would be great to consider it. Thanks!
