butt is a GUI application by design.
That means you can not simply run it on a Linux PC from
command line without having a X-server installed.
However, with the help of a virtual X-Server you can
overcome this limitation. On a Debian based distribution
(Ubuntu/Raspbian) you just need to install xvfb with:
sudo apt install xvfb After xvfb has been installed you can
simply run butt with:
xvfb-run butt butt will then start as if it was
started on a system with real X-server.
You will not have the full control as you have via GUI but you still have some options to control butt via command line. More about command line options can be found in the manual.
