It would be helpful to MacOS users if we could install DBGlass with brew cask install dbglass

Thanks for this, it's beautiful!

@groteworld Thank you, we'll create a brew package

Thanks very much, I would prefer a brew formula instead of a brew cask one. Having 30 Electron frameworks and 30 nodejs installed is not the most proper usage of disk space.

@cbertelli brew is really only for binaries and frameworks that are command-line based like node, git, and grep. brew cask is for graphical programs like atom, google-chrome, spotify and in this case dbglass.

@groteworld You are right, but DBGlass is based on frameworks that are already installed by brew and are big enough to make me hope they are not multiplied by cask into each installed app. Look inside the Framework folder: Electron weights 107 MB, Mantle is almost 192 MB. DBGlass in itself is lean and whippy: three helper apps (around 10 KB each), the main command, 8 KB; the heaviest thing are the languages in Resouces (around 18 MB). Anyway getting it installed by brew cask is very convenient.

I hear the pain, it's a problem with all electron apps.

I've just installed DBGlass by running brew cask install dbglass, so I guess this issue can already be closed, am I right?

Thanks!
