Oh come on Brew are you kidding me !!!

@gravityrahul Try brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

Using brew cask, this would be:

brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install \
  font-fira-code \
  font-fira-mono \
  font-fira-mono-for-powerline \
  font-fira-sans

As of Dec 31, 2019 the new Fira Code font cask is:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

Not officially supported, might install outdated version

    brew tap caskroom/fonts
    brew cask install font-fira-code

Very useful script! Thank you so much!

As of Jan 27, 2021 brew cask install is disabled, use brew install --cask instead.

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

brew install --cask \
  font-fira-code \
  font-fira-mono \
  font-fira-mono-for-powerline \
  font-fira-sans

Works like a charm! Thanks.

nice one.. works fine

Thanks @latavin243

Cask 'font-fira-mono-for-powerline' depends on brew install subversion done first.

How do I install font-fira-code on Linux currently?

When I try the currently provided commands:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

brew install --cask \
  font-fira-code \
  font-fira-mono \
  font-fira-mono-for-powerline \
  font-fira-sans

I receive the following error:

Error: Invalid `--cask` usage: Casks do not work on Linux

Any workaround on Linux?

On macOS, it worked like a charm for me.

for linux :)

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/
wget https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/raw/master/FiraCode-Regular.otf -O ~/.fonts/FiraCode-Regular.otf
fc-cache -v
