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's --version
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 'v'.
Note: If the version and path are not defined (= the tool is not installed), the install logic should be implemented
