pip3.6 install fb-idb

The aforementioned installation command ¹ doesn't function on CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:41", because pip3.6 doesn't exist in the standard or RPMFusion additions:

1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   dnf provides pip3.6

2. Updating and loading repositories:
   Repositories loaded.
   No matches found.

Is installing it with merely pip3 acceptable?

This appears to be because brew creates versioned pip binaries, whereas most (if not all) Linux-based OSes' python3 packages do not. ¹ Consequently, python3.6 -m pip is its replacement. ²

That necessitated the undermentioned:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
python3.6 -m ensurepip --user
python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade pip --user && \
python3.6 -m pip install fb-idb

Ultimately, the most comprehensive way to perform this on cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:41 is:

#!/usr/bin/env pwsh
#Requires -PSEdition Core
#Requires -PSVersion 7.4

toolbox create && `
toolbox enter (Read-Host)

Inside this container:

1. #!/usr/bin/env pwsh
   #Requires -PSEdition Core
   #Requires -PSVersion 7.4
   
   sudo dnf5 install -y python3.6
   python3.6 -m ensurepip --user
   python3.6 -m pip install --upgrade pip --user && `
   python3.6 -m pip install fb-idb

   ^{1 2 3}

2. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

   ⁴

3. #!/usr/bin/env sh
   brew tap facebook/fb
   brew install idb-companion
