Forecaster v2.0
Command Line Interface
Forecaster can be run in command line mode - FCMD (Forecaster CoMmanD).
In this case, entities are defined in csv files (see CSV section) and Forecaster is run from a
command line prompt.
Entering the command FCMD with no arguments will display a description of the available
options, for example:
