Updated OpenBCI GUI Homebrew tap information

in OpenBCI_GUI

Greetings all,
The OpenBCI GUI formula was recently removed from homebrew-cask-drivers. Their analytics determined it didn't meet their minimum download requirements, so the formula was retired.

If you're on MacOS and still prefer to install OpenBCI GUI and other software via Homebrew like I do then please feel free to use this tap I've created. It only has the OpenBCI GUI formula right now; currently at v4.1.5 but I'll watch for new releases and update when necessary.

Instructions for new users:
1. Install Homebrew if necessary
2. Tap homebrew-cask-drivers (contains the FTDI USB dongle driver)
brew tap homebrew/cask-drivers
3. Install the FTDI USB dongle driver if necessary
brew cask install ftdi-vcp-driver
(Bypass MacOS security to enable the kernel extension:
System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General. Restart if required.)
4. Tap homebrew-bitvox
brew tap coreygo/bitvox
5. Install OpenBCI GUI
brew cask install openbci-gui

Peace,
Corey
