I wouldn't recommend having both Mac Ports & homebrew (cask or<br>
otherwise) installed & in regular use at the same time on the same machin=<br>
e.<br>
<br>
For more info on the subject, check the list archives where you'll find<br>
plenty of advice (just search for homebrew and/or /usr/local).<br>

<br>
I'm not familiar with Homebrew, and I don't know what Cask is, but according to that web page, "A Cask is like a Formula in Homebrew except it describes how to download and install a binary application." In MacPorts there is no distinction; a port will install a binary if it is available, otherwise it will build from source. There's no need for you as a user to decide one way or the other. MacPorts will automatically install ports the best way.<br>
