## Accessing the Console
- Use the following URIs on a browser or a file manager to open GUI client with
the console:
- `steam://nav/console`
- `steam://open/console`
- will not work if the Steam client is running in the background
- The `-console` flag can be used with the client executable
- Alternatively, SteamCMD, a command-line only version of the Steam client, can
be used
