This doesn't work currently to check the requirement, so am diving deeper

You should be able to use this link to check to see if Apache Camel K is accessible at the command line{.didact} It should then update the following status.

Status: unknown{#camel-k-requirements-status}

This works just fine and I have no idea why

Apache Maven is accessible at the command line{.didact}

Status: unknown{#maven-requirements-status}

Issue seems to be with child_process.execSync

child_process.execSync(kamel version) returns

Error: Command failed: kamel version
/bin/sh: 1: kamel: not found

But doing the same thing at the terminal prompt I get no error:

bfitzpat:~/Documents/workspaces/clean $ kamel version
Camel K Client 1.0.0-RC1

I have asked some of the Node.js/TypeScript experts I know.

This works

You could use this link to open a new terminal called 'camel-k-term' and try the kamel version command.{.didact}
