NativeScript Advanced Setup: MacOS `brew install android-sdk` Error

#1

In attempting to install the Android development dependencies for NativeScript 2.5.4 on MacOS X 10.12, I get the following error when following the NativeScript Advanced Setup: MacOS instructions after the automated ruby script installation failed:

$ brew install android-sdk
Error: No available formula with the name "android-sdk" 
It was migrated from homebrew/core to caskroom/cask.
You can access it again by running:
  brew tap caskroom/cask

According to this closed Homebrew issue on GitHub, the android-sdk formula is no longer supported.

#2

the new command is brew cask install android-sdk

#3

The team is aware of this and will have all install scripts updated prior to the 3.0 release

#4
