v0.1.01
# get all dependencies of the project
go mod tidy
# build: produce an executable file/CLI app named "ocr"
go build -o ocr src/*
# run the app to identify a sample image
./ocr --lang=eng --img=img/default.png
# deps, build, run
go mod tidy && go build -o ocr src/* && ./ocr --lang=eng --img=img/default.png
# detect race conditions & memory leaks
