Tam Nguyen Duc 28d08ade88 fix brew install command to include --cask flag (#56)
The tap distributes kage as a Cask (prebuilt binary), not a Formula,
so brew needs --cask to find it. Without the flag brew errors out with
"No available formula or cask with the name kage".

kage is a single binary. Pick whichever channel suits you.
## Go
```bash
go install github.com/tamnd/kage/cmd/kage@latest
```
## Homebrew (macOS)
```bash
brew install --cask tamnd/tap/kage
```
The cask installs the prebuilt macOS binary. On Linux, use the packages below or
`go install`.
## Scoop (Windows)
```bash
scoop bucket add tamnd https://github.com/tamnd/scoop-bucket
scoop install kage
```
## Linux (apt and dnf)
A signed apt and dnf repository tracks every release, so `apt upgrade` and
`dnf upgrade` keep kage current.
```bash
# Debian, Ubuntu
curl -fsSL https://tamnd.github.io/linux-repo/gpg.key \
| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/tamnd.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tamnd.gpg] https://tamnd.github.io/linux-repo/apt stable main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tamnd.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install kage
# Fedora, RHEL
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://tamnd.github.io/linux-repo/dnf/tamnd.repo
sudo dnf install kage
```
## Release archives and Linux packages
Every [release](https://github.com/tamnd/kage/releases) attaches `tar.gz`
archives (and a `.zip` for Windows) for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, plus
`.deb`, `.rpm`, and `.apk` packages and a `checksums.txt` with a cosign
signature. Download the one for your platform, extract `kage`, and put it on your
`PATH`. To install a package directly without the repo above:
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i kage_*_amd64.deb
# Fedora/RHEL
sudo rpm -i kage-*.x86_64.rpm
```
## Container
The image bundles Chromium, so it needs nothing else:
```bash
docker run -v "$PWD/out:/out" ghcr.io/tamnd/kage clone example.com
```
The mirror lands in `./out/example.com/` on your host.
## You need a browser
kage drives a real Chrome to render pages. Outside the container image, it needs
Chrome or Chromium available on the machine. It looks for a system install
automatically (Google Chrome on macOS and Windows, `google-chrome`/`chromium` on
Linux). To use a specific binary:
```bash
kage clone example.com --chrome /path/to/chromium
# or
export KAGE_CHROME=/path/to/chromium
```
If no browser is found, kage's launcher can download a private copy of Chromium
on first use.
