Describe the bug

I just tried again to run curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash and I always get this notification even if libusb is installed and updated (via homebrew)

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

The check is just a warning because it isn't super accurate. Specifically, it only checks this path: /usr/local/opt/libusb/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib. I think 2-3 people have tried finding a better method, but we couldn't find any

[fnpen]

The path is /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libusb/1.0.26/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib on MacBook M1.
Maybe it's usefull to use brew list | grep 'libusb' command to check this requirement lib.

usbFluxD

Alt. Method for interacting with USB devices

Redirects the standard usbmuxd socket to allow connections to local and remote usbmuxd instances so remote devices appear connected locally.

brew install make automake autoconf libtool pkg-config gcc libimobiledevice usbmuxd

git clone https://github.com/corellium/usbfluxd.git cd usbfluxd

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

To accept the USB over TCP connection, and appear as local:

(you may need to change 172.17.0.1 to the IP address of the host. e.g. check ip addr)

sudo launchctl start usbmuxd
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:${PATH}
sudo usbfluxd -f -r 172.17.0.1:5000

why is libusb needed for foundryup in the first place? not obvious to me...

it is required for signing with hardware wallets

it does raise the point if there is a way we could only require the dependency whenever the hardware wallet is actually being requested
