Homebrew Cask for installing pCloud on a Mac

README.md

Installing pCloud with Homebrew Cask

Since this recipe was rejected because of the volatile nature of pCloud links (see homebrew-cask#57634) I try to maintain this myself because it is useful to me and might be for others.

• Download pcloud-drive.rb.
• Run brew cask install pcloud-drive.rb.

To uninstall run brew cask uninstall pcloud-drive.rb.

pcloud-drive.rb

cask 'pcloud-drive' do
  version '3.7.9'
  sha256 '0f251933096e44cdcc15334d6d27fec347dad5d66134f1dc93e21a152a2a163c'

  url do
    require 'net/http'
    require 'json'
    api = 'https://api.pcloud.com/'
    code = 'XZNF4C7Zrqw256sL45jrAn7RhtDVnkKAlOw7'
    uri = URI(api + 'getpublinkdownload?code=' + code)
    response = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
    data = JSON.parse(response)
    data['hosts'][0] + data['path']
  end
  name 'pCloud Drive'
  homepage 'https://www.pcloud.com/'

  depends_on cask: 'osxfuse'

  pkg 'pCloud Drive 3.7.9.pkg'

  uninstall quit:    'com.pcloud.pcloud.macos',
            pkgutil: 'com.mobileinno.pkg.pCloudDrive'
end

To retrieve the API code:

apicode=$(curl -s https://www.pcloud.com/how-to-install-pcloud-drive-mac-os.html\?download\=mac | grep "'Mac':" | sed "s/[ ,:']*//g;s/Mac//g" | tr -d '\t')

I use it in my reinstall.sh script. It's a full-zsh script (no python nor anything else), and with a bit of sed, tr, grep and curl it retrieves the latest version of pCloud and installs it. Not as easy as a Cask though ^^

Thanks! Added to my setup: aclark4life/setup-macos@672e00a
