If you need to reinstall, delete the `installer_files` folder created during setup and run the script again. -This script creates an `installer_files` folder where it sets up the project's requirements. If you need to reinstall the requirements, just delete that folder and start the web UI again. - -The script accepts command-line flags, such as `./start_linux.sh --help`. Alternatively, you can edit the `CMD_FLAGS.txt` file with a text editor and add your flags there, such as `--api` in case you need to use the API. - -To get updates in the future, run `update_wizard_linux.sh`, `update_wizard_windows.bat`, `update_wizard_macos.sh`, or `update_wizard_wsl.bat`. +You can use command-line flags, like `./start_linux.sh --help`, or add them to `CMD_FLAGS.txt` (such as `--api` to enable API use). To update the project, run `update_wizard_linux.sh`, `update_wizard_windows.bat`, `update_wizard_macos.sh`, or `update_wizard_wsl.bat`.
