    }

path changed to ./node_modules/@biomejs/biome/bin/biome butit fail to start

even when run Formt Document (With) ,, biome doesnt appears at all

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to VS code
2. Install biome extension
3. Tried to set Formatter but unable to find biome ( restart vs code already )
4. run biome lint in repo it sayas biome not found
5. installed biome on ubuntu using curl and set

"biome.lsp.bin": {
      "linux-x64": "~/biome",
      "linux-arm64-musl": "~/biome"

but still same issue

Expected behavior

1.formatter shoud work
2. The message pops on bottom to set biome globally but the 'See intructiosn' button does not open any link.
3. Also there is no clear solution given for ubuntu but to do curl,is it not available using snap or apt-get?

Does this issue occur when using the CLI directly?

when run biome lint
it outputs

Command 'biome' not found, did you mean:
  command 'biom' from deb python3-biom-format (2.1.15.2-1)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>
