Can I install a dishwasher in a kitchen where I do NOT have a
garbage disposal, to connect the waste hose ??
Is a disposal "required" for pproper dishwaher performance?
No, and IMHO you are better off without a disposal, I think they
are a huge pain in the ass and have little value.
You will simply install a new sink drain tail piece, with an
additional inlet for the hose coming from the dishwasher air gap /
drain.
I am not sure if plumbing code in all states require an air gap as
part of the dishwasher installation. For more information, see:

Air gaps are not required in AZ unless in certain commercial buildings
and high rise apartment buildings.
That is interesting Wayne, thanks. If it were me and if I had an
extra punch-out in the sink, I think I would install one regardless.
