Edit: make sure to first read this topic about headless mode, this thread is old.

Hello,

it seems that many plugins do not get loaded. Are they present in that folder? Can they be loaded when you start not in headless mode?

Cheers

Yes it works when not in headless mode. But I tried to run the command from the installation folder and now it worked, thanks. Can I do something to be able to run the command from outside of the folder?

I think you will have to modify the client application for that.

Cheers
