Let us take a look at how to find the list of all the installed packages (Formulae) on your Mac using the homebrew package manager.
- Open Terminal App.
- Type the command: brew list
% brew list ==> Formulae bash-completion gettext libzip openssl@1.1 tldr brotli icu4c lua python@3.10 tree c-ares imagesnap lz4 python@3.11 xz ca-certificates libnghttp2 micro readline zstd cscope libuv mpdecimal ruby gdbm libyaml node sqlite ==> Casks docker visual-studio-code rar zulu8
As you would see not the list of Formulae but also Casks using the list command.
