Hello, I tried installing openlens from chocolatey. After installing, it opens openlens automatically. After closing it, I tried to run openlens in cmd to open it again, but it returns an error:

Is there any guide on how to launch openlens when installing with chocolatey?

Add lens to env var path if not already added and try closing that terminal and reopen a new one.

I just installed this with chocolatey, and it started and worked fine during install, but I have no idea how to launch openlens again without reinstalling. It does not seem like openlens added anything to Path either on system or my user when it was installed.
It would have been nice if openlens added itself to the start menu, where I usually start gui apps from.

After installing using choco, it opens openlens automatically, and it is run from "C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\2Rw4YV7OsX54wLBab3ku5nk8BNQ\OpenLens.exe" (viewed using taskmanager with command line column). It seems like choco does not copy the OpenLens to the right path.
