Outline Client

What are you trying to do? What is your use case?

Install the Outline client app on Mac using Homebrew

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it.

It would be great to be able to install it alongside with many other apps from Homebrew

Describe the solution you'd like.

brew install --cask outline-client

moreover the Outline Manager is presented on Homebrew

Describe alternatives you've considered

Install manually or using the Mac App Store CLI app

Thanks for your feature request Alexander. Unfortunately this is not something we would be able to support anytime soon.

Currently we only distribute the MacOS client through the App Store, not as an DMG. This is because of restrictions on non-app-store apps using the network extension APIs. See issue link. That would make it very difficult to distribute as a cask.

It would probably be possible to distribute the manager through homebrew from the manager DMG link, but I assume that wouldn't really be useful for your case.

I will keep this open so the request is tracked.
