On one test installation when tapping RUN the command immediately returns without producing a result. The problem is that the ml command could not be found, even though it was installed. It often gets installed into ~/.local/bin/ml. Copying the ml file across to /usr/local/bin/ml solves the problem! But the user would not know to do this.
This was discovered when runnig the mlhub app via a .desktop file. On different Ubuntu computers, starting the app from the .dekstop icon, one works with the directory ~/.local/bin on the PATH while another fails because ~/.local.bin is not on the path. The app starts up a /bin/sh and on one computer's startup the .local/bin is on the PATH within the flutter process instance, and on another the PATH is the usual /bin, /sbin, /usr/local/bin, etc., without the .local/bin.
Workaround
To provide some possibility of fixing this:
[ ] The app needs to check the Process/ml command's return status for any error and display the error in a popup .
[ ] Also need a settings page where the path to the ml command can be set, like ml by default or ${HOME}/.local/bin/ml if I need to set it manually. Then use is variable instead of 'ml by itself. The use of ml by itself could also present security concerns.
