Description

I clicked "Automated install via AppMap CLI" in the IntelliJ plugin, which executed a command. But the command failed with an error.

Research direction

Start by tracing the CLI's handling of the node --version command and compare it with the reported packaged-app error. The fix is complete when the install flow obtains the Node version successfully instead of treating --version as a module path.
