I'd like to make the start-up process more user friendly. Specifically, having a denv check (or similar) command to verify installation and availablility of a runner will be helpful. In addition, this runner check could take the time to compare version numbers on top of just checking for existence of commands within the PATH.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative I can think of is to manually do this checking outside of denv and document this process in the manual. This is icky.
