I noticed that the maximum-awesome rake runs 'brew install brew-cask' but caskroom says it's not longer necessary to run that: https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/releases (as of Dec 2015).

[julieushpa]

also note that someone is working on a fix: #224

i manually ran brew tap caskroom/task and then edited my Rakefile and i'm up and running! i commented out line 234: Rake::Task['install:brew_cask'].invoke (also line 137, but it shouldn't be executed)

i do seem to have some errors, but it could be because of previously installed vim customization.
