The readme advises this outdated syntax:

brew cask install session-manager-plugin

...which fails in current brew with:

Error: Invalid usage: Unknown command: brew cask

Looking at the docs for this package:

https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/session-manager-plugin

...we can see that brew now advise:

brew install --cask session-manager-plugin

Note also that this cask is deprecated and has a 'disable date' of 2026-09-01 - but that is Another Problem:

Warning: session-manager-plugin has been deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.
