The UI tools start automatically where possible:
| • | On Windows, the tools start when the Factor executable is run. |
| • | On X11, the tools start if the DISPLAY environment variable is set. |
| • | On Mac OS X, the tools start if the Factor.app application bundle is run. |
In all cases, passing the
-run=listener command line switch starts the terminal listener instead. The UI can be started from the terminal by issuing the following command:
USE: threads
[ "ui.tools" run ] in-thread
