# Command Line Options

NeuTu can be launched from the terminal with optional command line options. One useful option is `--load`, which can be used to specify custom configuration file or load a specific DVID database. The following command can be used to load a specified DVID database automatically:

```
neutu --load config:<config_path> dname:<database_name>
```

by replacing `<config_path>` with the actual path to the configuration file and `<database_name>` with the database name to load. Note that `<config_path>` is the path to the main configuration file instead of the proofreading configuration file.
