Running Cartoonifier automatically after bootup

Often, when you build an embedded device, you want your application to be executed automatically after the device has booted up, rather than requiring the user to manually run your application. To automatically run our application after the device has fully booted up and logged in to the graphical desktop, create an autostart folder with a file in it with these contents, including the full path to your script or application:

mkdir ~/.config/autostart
 nano ~/.config/autostart/Cartoonifier.desktop
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Exec=/home/pi/Cartoonifier/build/runCartoonifier.sh
 X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

Now, whenever you turn the device on or reboot it, Cartoonifier will begin running!
