homebrew-tap

Self-hosted Homebrew tap for Pixeval — a cross-platform Pixiv client for browsing, downloading, and managing illustrations on macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android.

Install

# Add this tap
brew tap Pixeval/tap

# Trust this tap
brew trust Pixeval/tap

# Install Pixeval
brew install --cask pixeval

Tip

For Chinese users who have trouble downloading the cask, here is a @cn variant that uses a mirror: brew install --cask pixeval@cn. The mirror might not be available at all times. If it serves content different from the upstream release, Homebrew will refuse to install due to a checksum mismatch. Consider opening an issue if the mirror does not work anymore.

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask --zap pixeval

# Or just remove the app, keeping your data
brew uninstall --cask pixeval

# Remove the tap itself
brew untap Pixeval/tap

Update

Pixeval will update itself automatically on launch. The cask here tracks the latest release — you can upgrade it with:

brew upgrade --cask pixeval
