====== Headless mode ======

GroIMP can be started without its graphical interface, in headless. 

More information on the headless mode:
  * [[:groimp-platform:interfaces:headless|Headless implementation]]
  * [[:user-guide:advanced-groimp-arguments|Common command line arguments]]

A tutorial:
  * [[:tutorials:startup-headless-model|Getting started with headless]]

====== GreenLab ======


Parts of the GreenLab model were reimplemented in the language XL. As the basis, the implementation of the GreenLab model in the software [[http://liama.ia.ac.cn/wiki/projects:greenscilab:download|GreenScilab]], version GreenScilabv1.0_demo, was taken.

More information on the Greenlab plugin:
  * [[:greenlab:ch01|Greenlab implementation]]

A tutorial:

====== Command Line Interface ======

GroIMP can be started without its graphical interface, with a CLI. Unlike the Headless mode, the CLI enables interaction with the model during run time. 

More documentation on the CLI:
  * [[:groimp-platform:interfaces:cli|CLI implementation]]
  * [[:groimp-platform:interfaces:cli#commands|List of CLI commands]]

A tutorial:

====== Application Programming Interface ======

GroiMP can be started as an API to be used from other software (e.g. Python, R, ...).

====== HTTP Server ======

It is possible to start GroIMP as a HTTP server which can be accessible from HTTP request.

More information:
  * [[:groimp-platform:interfaces:http_server|HTTP Server commands]]
  * [[:groimp-platform:interfaces:http_server#options|HTTP options]]
Tutorial:
  * [[:tutorials:http_server|Starting GroIMP as a HTTP Server]]


====== GroIMP Server ======

GroIMP can be started as a server. Then, other instances of GroIMP can connect to the GroIMP server. This enables multiple user concurrently accessing a single model from different devices.
