Summary

Adds Homebrew as the first option under Quick Install in the README:

brew install deepgram/tap/deepgram

Notes that Homebrew handles ffmpeg + portaudio automatically (covers dg listen --mic, dg debug probe, raw audio piping) and that future updates use brew upgrade deepgram.

Why

Companion to deepgram/homebrew-tap#1 (the formula) and deepgram/cli#42 (release-automation that keeps the formula fresh). Brew is now the canonical low-friction install path for Mac/Linux developers — sits at the top of "Quick Install" alongside the curl one-liner.

Diff

README.md: 9 lines added, 1 modified. Just the Homebrew block under Quick Install — no other sections touched.

Companion docs PR

deepgram/deepgram-docs#834 — same content updated on the docs site's CLI install page (also fixes a stale deepgram-cli formula-name reference and removes a "if you have a custom tap configured" conditional).

Adds 'macOS / Linux (Homebrew)' as the first option under Quick Install:

  brew install deepgram/tap/deepgram

Documents that Homebrew handles ffmpeg + portaudio automatically (covers
dg listen --mic, dg debug probe, raw audio piping) and notes brew upgrade
deepgram for updates.

Companion to deepgram/homebrew-tap#1 (formula) and #42
(release-automation that keeps the formula fresh).
Switches the README's Homebrew snippet from the one-shot

  brew install deepgram/tap/deepgram

to the two-step

  brew tap deepgram/tap
  brew install deepgram

After tapping, future installs and upgrades use the bare formula name
(brew upgrade deepgram), which is what users will most often see and
type. The two-step form is also more explicit about what's being
tapped.

Folded into #42 so all the Homebrew-tap-related changes for deepgram/cli ship as a single review unit.
