cargo build

Run a specific binary crate, for example the launcher shell application

For running from root directory

export BEVY_ASSET_ROOT="." && cargo run -p mechanix-launcher

For running inside shell/crates/{package}

export BEVY_ASSET_ROOT="../../../" && cargo run

Run the desktop services application

cargo run -p mechanix-desktop-services
