Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces. If your issue is a camera issue, be sure to also post the image generated by running sudo howdy snapshot.

After installing howdy from the Ubuntu PPA as described in the README, there is no command with the name howd:

# howdy
howdy: command not found
root@<hostname>:/usr/lib/security/howdy# which howdy
root@<hostname>:/usr/lib/security/howdy#

Also when trying to run it manually:

root@<hostname>:/usr/lib/security/howdy# ./cli.py -U <myusername> add
Adding face model for the user neo
Enter a label for this new model [Initial model] (max 24 characters): test
Camera path is not configured correctly, please edit the 'device_path' config value.
Exception ignored in: <function VideoCapture.__del__ at 0x73c82cd60fe0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/security/howdy/recorders/video_capture.py", line 55, in __del__
    self.internal.release()
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'VideoCapture' object has no attribute 'internal'

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Ubuntu 24.04

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): 2.6.1
