How to install Cinc Workstation on Mac

In Terminal, run: brew install --cask cinc-workstation
Homebrew runs the cinc-workstation-25.13.7-1.arm64.pkg installer, which asks for an administrator password.

Install without Homebrew

The download differs by macOS version, so choose one on the official website: cinc.sh/start/workstation

Uninstall Cinc Workstation and optional data cleanup

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --cask cinc-workstation

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Uninstalling also removes

Background services (launchctl): io.chef.chef-workstation.app
Installer receipts (pkgutil): com.cinc-project.pkg.cinc-workstation

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --zap --cask cinc-workstation

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
