You can run the complete software flow from the command line using the efx_run.py Python 3 script.

efx_run.py design [--help] [--prj PRJ] [--flow FLOW] [--tcl_script TCL SCRIPT]
    [-v EXTRA_FILES [EXTRA_FILES ...] | --flist FLIST] [--tb TB_EXTRA_FILES] [--tb_top TB_TOP]
    [--dir SOURCE_DIR] [--map_opts MAP_OPTS [MAP_OPTS ...]] [--pt_opts PT_OPTS [PT_OPTS ...]]
    [--pnr_opts VPR_OPTS [VPR_OPTS ...]] [--pgm_opts PGM_OPTS [PGM_OPTS ...]] [--modelsim]
    [--aldec] [--ncsim] [--res_compare] [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR] [--work_dir WORK_DIR]
    [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--un_flow] [--physical_syn_input PHYSICAL_SYN_INPUT]

Note: You can use efx_run.bat to run the efx_run.py script in the Windows Command Prompt.
