  1. Right click on the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of the screen, then select either Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  2. Within the command prompt, navigate to C:\Program Files\RealNetworks\SAFR\Argus.
  3. Again within the command prompt, run whichever command line command you want, following the syntax rules specified below.
