Debugging

The log of your script, successful or not, will be saved to ~/komputer-maschine.log.

Read through it to see if you can debug the issue yourself. If not, report where the script failed into a new GitHub Issue.

Known Issues

Cask does not recognize applications installed outside of Homebrew Cask – in the case that the script fails, you can either remove the application from the install list or uninstall the application causing the failure and try again.
