⚙️ Install Lsusb On MacOS

For anyone that is using/has used Linux you are likely already familiar with lsusb, which is missing on macOS. Well, you are in luck as there is a bash script available on Github that can be installed via Homebrew.

To get it installed you need to run the following commands and it’s as easy as that.

brew update
brew tap jlhonora/lsusb
brew install lsusb

Once installed you can run lsusb from the command line and will be presented with something like the following.
