Uh, I don't know about Caliber specifically, but there are plenty of packages out there that include both a GUI and one or more CLI tools, and such packages don't always have feature parity between what's available in the GUI and what's available from the command line, but I've never known a package including a GUI frontend preventing one from running the command line components on a text-only console. Granted, it's also common for a GUI Frontend to be a separate package from the CLI tools it is a frontend for.
