Hi Thomas,

I’ve been using the homebrew install of DK for over 3 years now. 
I run it on Apple silicon, an M2 mini. I had it with the local SQL db to start and now I have it connecting to an external MariaDB database. 
No issues or loss of features that I can see. 

It may not be officially managed by the DK team but it’s always up to date. 

Of course you can validate this by comparing the hash of the homebrew version with the downloadable pkg.
