For application packages, use the program /usr/bin/open with an argument pointing to the app you're wanting to run, such as /System/Applications/TextEdit.app

For straight executables, you can point directly at the executable path, but make sure to include the full path to it, such as /usr/bin/open or /usr/bin/say

A couple of additional usage examples are available in the Crowbartools Discord server under the #issues thread titled "Run Program isn't working on MacOS."
