Building and Running the GUI

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

Flutter apps

To run Flutter applications, navigate to the desired app folder and use Flutter Elinux commands:

$ cd apps/settings
$ flutter-elinux pub get
$ flutter-elinux run

Replace settings with the name of the app you want to work on.
