Update Homebrew Install Command

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is very minor, but the instructions for mac on the download page include the command brew cask install dbeaver-community. While this command works, the current version of homebrew calls out:

Warning: Calling brew cask install is deprecated! Use brew install [–cask] instead.

And just an aside, it would be nice if it is called out that java is required near that command instead of homebrew telling me i need it after a successful install or searching for the info somewhere on the page.

Describe the solution you’d like Option 1 (sufficient): (brew install --cask dbeaver-community)

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Option 2 (more info): (`brew install --cask dbeaver-community`; will provide install command for required java)

Hi, great project! But, I am here to report the Homebrew instructions on the download page still has just one dash instead of two. So, like @ronlut mentioned, it should be: brew install --cask dbeaver-community

Also, on the newer Mac Big Sur, I didn’t get a warning when I installed DBeaver without the “–cask” option. I think the OP might be on an older Mac, so their experience might still be valid too.
