• A graphical interface is proposed by default if Config::Model::TkUI is installed.

• A Curses interface with option -ui curses if Config::Model::CursesUI is installed.

• A Shell like interface with option -ui term.

• A Fuse virtual file system with option -ui fuse -fuse_dir <mountpoint> if Fuse is installed (Linux only)
