Just wondering, since I haven't seen a house in decades that had a dishwasher but didn't have a sink-drain grinder.
I have heard that connecting it this way is partly done so there's an air gap between dishwasher and drains, and I'm guessing that installing without the macerator might require a vacuum breaker or something of that sort… but I'd sorta liks to know for sure.
(My place has both, but I'd really be just as glad to jettison the macerator.)

I have had several houses with a dishwasher but not a garbage disposal. I don't think it really changes the installation that much... the dishwasher waste pipe connects to the sink drain before the trap.
If you want to plumb the dishwasher somewhere there isn't a sink already, you need to install a trap & standpipe, similar to the way a washing machine is done.
