## 📲 Install
|
||
|
||
### 🍺 Homebrew
|
||
|
||
[Homebrew](http://brew.sh) is the preferred way to install:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
brew install mas
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### MacPorts
|
||
|
||
[MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/install.php) works as well:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo port install mas
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
⚠️ Note that macOS 10.15 (Catalina) is required to install mas from MacPorts or the core Homebrew formula.
|
||
|
||
### ☎️ Older macOS Versions
|
||
|
||
We provide a [custom Homebrew tap](https://github.com/mas-cli/homebrew-tap) with pre-built bottles
|
||
for all macOS versions since 10.11.
|
||
|
||
To install mas from our tap:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
brew install mas-cli/tap/mas
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Swift 5 Runtime Support
|
||
|
||
mas requires Swift 5 runtime support. macOS 10.14.4 and later include it, but earlier releases did not.
|
||
Without it, running `mas` may report an error similar to
|
||
```
|
||
dyld: Symbol not found: _$s11SubSequenceSlTl
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To get Swift 5 support, you have a few options:
|
||
- Install the [Swift 5 Runtime Support for Command Line Tools](https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1998).
|
||
- Update to macOS 10.14.4 or later.
|
||
- Install Xcode 10.2 or later to `/Applications/Xcode.app`.
|
||
|
||
### 🐙 GitHub Releases
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, binaries are available in the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/releases).
|
||
|
||
## 🤳🏻 Usage
|
||
|
||
Each application in the Mac App Store has a product identifier which is also
|
||
used for mas-cli commands. Using `mas list` will show all installed
|
||
applications and their product identifiers.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas list
|
||
446107677 Screens
|
||
407963104 Pixelmator
|
||
497799835 Xcode
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It is possible to search for applications by name using `mas search` which
|
||
will search the Mac App Store and return matching identifiers.
|
||
Include the `--price` flag to include prices in the result.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas search Xcode
|
||
497799835 Xcode
|
||
688199928 Docs for Xcode
|
||
449589707 Dash 3 - API Docs & Snippets. Integrates with Xcode, Alfred, TextWrangler and many more.
|
||
[...]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To install or update an application simply run `mas install` with an
|
||
application identifier:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas install 808809998
|
||
==> Downloading PaintCode 2
|
||
==> Installed PaintCode 2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you want to install the first result that the `search` command returns, use the `lucky` command.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas lucky twitter
|
||
==> Downloading Twitter
|
||
==> Installed Twitter
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> Please note that this command will not allow you to install (or even purchase) an app for the first time:
|
||
use the `purchase` command in that case.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas purchase 768053424
|
||
==> Downloading Gapplin
|
||
==> Installed Gapplin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> Please note that you may have to re-authenticate yourself in the App Store to complete the purchase.
|
||
This is the case if the application is not free or if you configured your account not to remember the
|
||
credentials for free purchases.
|
||
|
||
Use `mas outdated` to list all applications with pending updates.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas outdated
|
||
497799835 Xcode (7.0)
|
||
446107677 Screens VNC - Access Your Computer From Anywhere (3.6.7)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> `mas` is only able to install/update applications that are listed in the Mac App Store itself.
|
||
Use [`softwareupdate(8)`] utility for downloading system updates (e.g. Xcode Command Line Tools)
|
||
|
||
To install all pending updates run `mas upgrade`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas upgrade
|
||
Upgrading 2 outdated applications:
|
||
Xcode (7.0), Screens VNC - Access Your Computer From Anywhere (3.6.7)
|
||
==> Downloading Xcode
|
||
==> Installed Xcode
|
||
==> Downloading iFlicks
|
||
==> Installed iFlicks
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Updates can be performed selectively by providing the app identifier(s) to
|
||
`mas upgrade`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas upgrade 715768417
|
||
Upgrading 1 outdated application:
|
||
Xcode (8.0)
|
||
==> Downloading Xcode
|
||
==> Installed Xcode
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 🚏📥 Sign-in
|
||
|
||
To sign into the Mac App Store for the first time run `mas signin`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas signin mas@example.com
|
||
==> Signing in to Apple ID: mas@example.com
|
||
Password:
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ Due to breaking changes in the underlying API that mas uses to interact with the Mac App Store,
|
||
> the `signin` command has been temporarily disabled on macOS 10.13+ ⛔.
|
||
> For more information on this issue, see [#164](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/issues/164).
|
||
|
||
If you experience issues signing in this way, you can ask to signin using a graphical dialog (provided by Mac App Store application):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas signin --dialog mas@example.com
|
||
==> Signing in to Apple ID: mas@example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also embed your password in the command.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ mas signin mas@example.com 'ZdkM4f$gzF;gX3ABXNLf8KcCt.x.np'
|
||
==> Signing in to Apple ID: mas@example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use `mas signout` to sign out from the Mac App Store.
|
||
|
||
## 🍺 Homebrew integration
|
||
|
||
`mas` is integrated with [homebrew-bundle]. If `mas` is installed, and you run `brew bundle dump`,
|
||
then your Mac App Store apps will be included in the Brewfile created. See the [homebrew-bundle]
|
||
docs for more details.
|
||
|
||
## 💥 When something doesn't work
|
||
|
||
If you see this error, it's probably because you haven't installed the app through the App Store yet.
|
||
See [#46](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/issues/46#issuecomment-248581233).
|
||
> This redownload is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user of the
|
||
> item was refunded or cancelled.
|
||
|
||
If `mas` doesn't work for you as expected (e.g. you can't update/download apps), run `mas reset` and try again.
|
||
If the issue persists, please [file a bug](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas/issues/new).
|
||
All your feedback is much appreciated! ✨
|
||
|
||
## 📺 Using `tmux`
|
||
|
||
`mas` operates via the same system services as the Mac App Store. These exist as
|
||
separate processes with communication through XPC. As a result of this, `mas`
|
||
experiences similar problems as the pasteboard when running inside `tmux`. A
|
||
[wrapper tool exists](https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard) to
|
||
fix pasteboard behaviour which also works for `mas`.
|
||
|
||
You should consider configuring `tmux` to use the wrapper but if you do not wish
|
||
to do this it can be used on a one-off basis as follows:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
|
||
reattach-to-user-namespace mas install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## ℹ️ Build from source
|
||
|
||
You can build from Xcode by opening the root `mas` directory, or from the Terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
script/bootstrap
|
||
script/build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Build output can be found in the `build/` directory within the project.
|
||
|
||
## ✅ Tests
|
||
|
||
The tests in this project are a recent work-in-progress.
|
||
Since Xcode does not officially support tests for command-line tool targets,
|
||
all logic is part of the MasKit target with tests in MasKitTests.
|
||
Tests are written using [Quick].
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
script/test
|
||
```
