MacOS setup should not use wget, should use curl instead

[vchelaru]

The macOS Wine setup instructions use wget, but wget isn't installed on macOS by default. Running the command as written gives zsh: command not found: wget.

Two easy fixes:

1. Swap to curl, which ships with macOS:

   curl -fsSL https://monogame.net/downloads/net8_mgfxc_wine_setup.sh | bash
   

2. Or add brew install wget to the prerequisite list alongside p7zip.

Option 1 is probably cleaner since it avoids an extra dependency.

The instructions already include having brew install wget on the line above the command to use it

docs.monogame.github.io/articles/getting_started/1_setting_up_your_os_for_development_macos.md

Line 65 in 8f1fe72

brew install wget p7zip curl && brew install --cask wine-stable && xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Wine Stable.app"

Using wget or curl really doesn't matter here, curl is fine. wget is more commonly used in documentation to keep documentation portable between *nix systems

Ya but why have extra steps if they're not needed? As proof from my friend who was trying it, he missed the steps and was left scratching his head. I don't think RTFM is the right answer if we can remove unnecessary steps.

There's no way to drop the extra step of doing the brew install command even if we remove curl from the list. They're still going to need to run that command to ensure the prerequisites are installed like p7zip and wine-stable as well as the xattr command to quarantine the Wine_Stable.app so that it doesn't do the non-signed security warning and then quarantine wine and not open it

So it's not necessarily they should RTFM, but more of "why did they miss that step in the documents". If it's because they saw it was a brew command installing these things like wine and decided they didn't need to do that because they already have it, then we can't assume that's the same for everyone reading the steps to get the environment setup. The steps should be provided for a clean environment, never been setup for anything
