<p>Within your extension, it is reccommended to implement your own functionality to check the current
version number of the CLI tool. For example, parsing the information from the CLI tool&#x27;s <code>--version</code> flag.
Passing in path will also help to show where the CLI tool is expected to be installed.
This is usually the ~/.local/share/containers/podman-desktop/extensions-storage directory.
Note: The expected value should not include &#x27;v&#x27;.
Note: If the version and path are not defined (= the tool is not installed), the install logic should be implemented</p>

 								<p>Within your extension, it is reccommended to implement your own functionality to check the current

 								Passing in path will also help to show where the CLI tool is expected to be installed.
