Migrate from the Native Desktop CLI
The public CLI is now the headless biosimulant package distributed through PyPI. Desktop remains a graphical client and no longer defines a separate public command catalog.
Command changes
| Previous command | Replacement |
|---|---|
biosimulant raw … | Use the corresponding task-oriented canonical command |
biosimulant settings … | Use Desktop Settings or configuration files |
biosimulant which | Use command -v biosimulant or where biosimulant |
biosimulant install-cli | Use pipx install biosimulant or Desktop’s launcher control |
biosimulant uninstall-cli | Use pipx uninstall biosimulant or Desktop’s launcher control |
biosimulant self update | Use pipx upgrade biosimulant |
biosimulant labs open | Open the project through Desktop or the operating system |
biosimulant labs import | Use labs pull, labs create, or Desktop import |
biosimulant runs open | Use runs results or a report produced by labs run |
Desktop-only actions such as opening windows, navigation, notifications, and visual settings are private application behavior.
Compatibility window
The native launcher may forward to the Python CLI for one migration release. Existing JSON adapters and compatibility URLs remain temporary and should not be used by new automation.
Verify automation against:
biosimulant commands list --json
biosimulant doctor
