How to run:

Download the code (and extract it if needed).
Open a terminal.
Set the environment variables.
- On Windows:
  - Run $ setx VARIABLE_NAME "value" in a terminal.
- On Unix (Linux / Mac):
  - Run $ sudo nano /etc/environment or $ sudo vim /etc/environment in the terminal.
  - press i (only if you used VIM).
  - write VARIABLE_NAME="value" + a new line for every variable.
  - if nano: ctrl + O (and press enter) then ctrl + X.
  - if VIM: press esc then write :wq (and press enter).
Restart the terminal if you added/changed the environment variables.
Run $ cd path/to/extracted/folder.
Run $ cargo run. You can view a list of options by running $ cargo run -- --help or $ cargo run -- -h.
- If you only want to run the Python code, you can either run $ cargo run -- --py, or $ python ./src/python/main.py. The second option is recommended for better error output.
