Celestia/Command Line
< Celestia
Introduction
[edit | edit source]Celestia can be started either by clicking on its icon or by typing a command into a terminal window. Under Windows, the terminal window is often called a DOS window or CMD window.
A typical command to run Celestia might be
cd Celestia ./Celestia
