Is there way to reconfigure LyX from terminal?
I can't find anything on the wiki.
I'm using a Mac OS X 10.11.6 if that helps.

EDIT:
I was trying to find a shortcut for the tedious Tools > Reconfigure.

LyX actually calls a Python script that does the configure. So you can call it directly. If I wanted to configure the typical user directory, I would do the following:
- Find my user directory by opening LyX and going to Help > About. For me, this is
~/.lyx. - Find configure .py with
locate -i configure.py. For me, this gives/usr/share/lyx/configure.py. - Then, just
cdto your user directory and runconfigure.py.
Thus, I would do:
cd ~/.lyx && python /usr/share/lyx/configure.py
By the way, in the future it helps if you describe why you want to do something. I know that from your perspective, you probably think it's not relevant, but from the perspective of answering a question, it often helps. For example, I'm not sure if you want to configure the directory in the same user directory that is the default when you open LyX; or if you want to make a new user directory (e.g., have a different set of preferences from your main LyX).

Hi thank you for your answer! Sorry, I will know for next time to give more perspective. I did want to configure the directory in the same default user directory. For me, this default was~/Applications/Lyx.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py. I was just interested in a shortcut forTools > Reconfigure.
