Firacode: Cask 'font-fira-code' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

When I run brew cask install font-fira-code I get error:

Error: Cask 'font-fira-code' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

Using the suggested one-liner above I still faced an error:

Error: caskroom/fonts was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-fonts instead.

Thus:
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew cask install font-fira-code

Works for me

Try brew update maybe?

Thanks it ended up working. Not sure what it was.

Seems like I somehow got it installed twice:

Error: Cask font-fira-code exists in multiple taps:
  homebrew/cask-fonts/font-fira-code
  caskroom/fonts/font-fira-code

I managed to remove one of them by running brew untap caskroom/fonts (found in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/59227). What does brew brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts do vs. usually brew install... and brew cask install...?

This worked for me:

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

Just in case anyone coming here from Google wants a clear single-liner.

Using the suggested one-liner above I still faced an error:

Error: caskroom/fonts was moved. Tap homebrew/cask-fonts instead.

Thus:
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts && brew cask install font-fira-code
