On macOS, you must install `libusb` from homebrew. Additionally, if you have a `aarch64` mac, you will also need to install `pyusb` from the master branch as you'll need a workaround that is not present is the current pypy package.

Tested with python `3.13.0`, installed via [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv).

```bash
brew install python3 libusb
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/superna9999/pyamlboot
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3 superbird_tool.py --find_device
brew install libusb
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/pyusb/pyusb
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/superna9999/pyamlboot
python3 superbird_tool.py --find_device
```
