 In a step that uses the `bash` shell, `$RUN_WEBOTS` will expand to the start of a command line that will start Webots on any of the aforementioned runners with the `--no-rendering --stdout --stderr --minimize --batch` options. Those options allow Webots to run in a headless environment and redirect the controller's output/error to stdout/stderr.
