GUI in Executing KNIME using CLI

Hi,

I want to run workflows on a unix based server using KNIME_BATCH mode. But I don’t understand why do we need GUI related libraries when running a workflow using CLI ?

I had to install

libgbm-dev

and

libxkbcommon-x11-0

then it worked!

Is there any alternative solution (excluding KNIME server)?

environments:

• Ubuntu server 20.04.6 LTS

• KNIME Analytics Platform 5.1.2

command:

knime -nosplash -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION

Thanks.
