Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libusb/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib

I've followed the "getting started" guide to setup VSCode environment on MacOS (10.14.2).
When I attempt to flash the application using the "Particle: Flash application (local)" task, the toolchain encounters:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libusb/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/abmh763/.particle/toolchains/buildtools/1.0.1//dfu-suffix
Reason: image not found

Before exiting (exit code : 2)

Is there any other dependencies required

can you try installing “libusb” (easiest way i’ve found is to use homebrew - brew install libusb) and see if that fixes things?

Thanks! I’ve made progress, now on to “No DFU capable USB device available” error

Many thanks, once again

for future reference, we’ve collected a handful of known-gotchas on linux / ubuntu and their work-arounds over here:
