Installation on MacOS via brew #103

Description

@LiamKearn

Brew is the de-facto standard package manager for MacOS. It would be nice if dcc was available from brew for those of that use it.

AFAIK there is two main ways to enable software to be installed via brew:

  1. Via a tap which is similar to a repository system you may see with aptitude where a GitHub repository can be setup with metadata so that it's URL when ingested via the brew client will resolve to installable packages. (https://docs.brew.sh/Taps)
  2. Brew maintains their own official repository, I'm not sure on the requirements to be indexed it in but this absolves the client of a step (adding a tap).

Usually per program/installable/package there will be a single ruby file which somewhat declaratively describes how the installation or build is performed.

If this issue gets traction from others who want to install with brew but don't have the time for making it happen let me know with an @ I'll find the time!
