failing to initialise plugin when launching normally

So I'm running into an interesting issue. I installed node and followed the other instructions like in https://discord.com/channels/1143819637897834571/1386809932728238080 so I could install the streamerbot plugin. For some reason I was only able to install it when launching opendeck from the terminal, not when launching it normally. Now the plugin fails to initialise when I launch normally, but works when launching from the terminal again. Here's the bit from the log

[2025-08-28][01:34:23][opendeck::plugins][WARN] Failed to initialise plugin at /home/am/.config/opendeck/plugins/bot.streamer.streamdeck.sdPlugin: Node.js version 20.0.0 or higher is required

@am whats your installed node version? Please send us the output when you run node --version

That's because you have an environment variable set for your shell that lets OpenDeck find node when you run it normally it doesn't inherit that var did you install Node with nvm or fnm or something like that?
