For the csi-cam-pi module, Gstreamer and Libcamera are bundled into the appimage. You do not need to install any dependencies.
Make sure that the /boot/config.txt is configured to detect the camera. See this guide for more information. For example, if you are using the IMX 477, you should have the following lines in your /boot/config.txt:
camera_auto_detect=0
dtoverlay=imx477
