Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/49

Just found this project, followed the install instructions on the landing, and ran into this issue.

~/Documents/Workspace $ brew install Caskroom/cask/keycastr
==> brew cask install Caskroom/cask/keycastr
Error: Cask 'keycastr' definition is invalid: Bad header line: parse failed

Any clue whats going on?

have you tried brew cask install keycastr ?

Worked for me on a freshly installed homebrew.

Had the same issue. Try brew update && brew uninstall --force brew-cask. Details are here.

Thanks very much for the info. @DoWhileGeek @codeHatcher please give it a whirl and let us know. The cask recipe passes their lint and worked for me, so I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with KeyCastr

In the meantime, please feel free to grab a release from the GitHub releases page https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/releases/download/v0.9.2/KeyCastr.app.zip
