Install pCloud Drive via Homebrew

Since this recipe was rejected from Homebrew because of the volatile nature of pCloud links (see homebrew-cask#57634) we will try to maintain this because it is useful to us and might be for others. :smile:

Installation

First, make sure you have installed homebrew and homebrew-cask if you haven't yet.

Then, run the following in your command-line:

brew tap lyraphase/pcloud

Usage

Note: For info run:

brew info --cask pcloud-drive

Once the tap is installed, you can install pcloud-drive!

brew install --cask pcloud-drive

To uninstall run:

brew uninstall --cask pcloud-drive

Migration

Note: This Homebrew Tap has migrated from the old location (trinitronx/homebrew-pcloud) to lyraphase/pcloud. It has NOT changed ownership or maintainers at this time. It has been moved to benefit from GitHub's CI/CD automation features that are available to a GitHub Organization.

While all links to the previous repository location are automatically redirected to the new location by GitHub, it is recommended to migrate this Tap and any previously cloned git repos to use the new URL. To avoid confusion, we strongly recommend updating any existing local clones to point to the new repository URL.

You can do this easily using Homebrew commands:

brew uninstall --cask pcloud-drive
brew untap trinitronx/pcloud
brew tap lyraphase/pcloud
brew install --cask pcloud-drive

Alternatively, you can also do this by using git remote on the command line: This method does not require that you uninstall the pcloud-drive Cask.

cd $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/trinitronx/homebrew-pcloud
git remote -vv  # List remote repos
# Find the named remote URL with 'trinitronx/homebrew-pcloud'
# (usually 'origin' by default)
# If you checked this repo out as a fork
# or named the remote repo something other than 'origin',
# then use that in the following command
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/LyraPhase/homebrew-pcloud.git
git remote -vv  # Check that the remote repo URL now contains 'LyraPhase/homebrew-pcloud'
# Move the directory to the new naming format
cd $(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/
mv trinitronx lyraphase

Development

If you wish to contribute to this Cask, there is a helper Makefile with some useful targets.

To checkout this repo and install in development mode:

git clone https://github.com/lyraphase/homebrew-pcloud.git
cd homebrew-pcloud
make install

This will install a symbolic link to this git repo under:

$(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/lyraphase/homebrew-pcloud

Then, you may edit and test the Homebrew Cask recipe from the cloned git repo file location.

Testing

To test:

make test

homebrew-pcloud's Issues

Travis CI builds broken

Builds are broken due to the aging xcode61 image with many out of date Homebrew updates.

This caused:

• brew update to take an exceedingly long time, outputting too many log lines.
  • Travis error: The job exceeded the maximum log length, and has been terminated.
• Some Casks (e.g. java) no longer supported macOS 10.13, and upgrades hang for over 10 minutes hitting TravisCI job time limit

  • Travis error:

     No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.
    
     Check the details on how to adjust your build configuration on: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/common-build-problems/#Build-times-out-because-no-output-was-received
    

Please update to 3.8.6

3.8.6 is current MacOS version.

Automatically install the latest version.

Hi there.

I'm a mac power user, CLI lover, and as such I created my own tool to reinstall my mac: reinstall.sh.

I recently searched and found how to find, download and install the latest version of pCloud. No hash/version number to maintain, it automatically retrieves the latest version. You can find it in reinstall.sh or, in a simplified/explained version here.

Hope it helps.
