Command Line Interface

You can run UBA and read bible study materials with terminal / console.

Enable CLI feature

To enable cli feature, you need to enable command line interface by passing either "cli" or "gui" to "uba.py", i.e.

uba.py cli

OR

uba.py gui

Difference between "uba.py cli" & "uba.py gui"

Run "uba.py cli" to start UBA with command line interface.

Run "uba.py gui" to start UBA with graphical user interface.
