Brew install chromedriver not working?

Question

I am using MacOS, when I tried to install chromedriver using homebrew

brew install chromedriver

I get:

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

I typed brew tap caskroom/cask but chromedriver is still not installed. Can someone please help me on this? Thanks!

After tapping caskroom/cask by using brew tap caskroom/cask, install chromedriver using brew cask install chromedriver. You can see other commands using brew cask help.

Homebrew is wonderful to use but it's so hard to remember these beer related metaphors and intuitively realize what to do. What does tapping a caskroom / cask even mean in this context? Yes, they have a page explaining it but it's not _intuitive_ – user2490003 May 09 '19 at 14:46

You can also run `brew cask upgrade chromedriver` if you want to upgrade an existing installation to the latest version. – abhchand Sep 01 '20 at 16:58

Calling brew cask upgrade is deprecated. Use `brew upgrade --cask chromedriver` – Anatoli Klamer Oct 07 '20 at 05:53

The previous answers using brew cask etc. did not work for me.

As of May 2021, the following worked for me using homebrew:

brew install chromedriver

Which is confirmed by:

==> Downloading https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/90.0.4430.24/chromed
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Installing Cask chromedriver
==> Linking Binary 'chromedriver' to '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'
  chromedriver was successfully installed!

Confirmed this still works as of February 2022. – Nick Feb 16 '22 at 15:45 — Nick, Feb 16 '22 at 15:45

In case you get the following error:

Error: Cask chromedriver-beta exists in multiple taps:
  homebrew/cask-versions/chromedriver-beta
  caskroom/versions/chromedriver-beta

untap the other cask:

$ brew untap caskroom/versions

Then follow the @Chris' answer:

$ brew cask install chromedriver
