# Project: PixEagle
# Repository: https://github.com/alireza787b/PixEagle

# This script automates the process of running the main
# Python application for PixEagle. It activates the Python
# virtual environment and executes the main script located
# at ~/PixEagle/src/main.py.

# Default Usage: ./run_main.sh
# Custom Interpreter: ./run_main.sh <PYTHON_INTERPRETER>
