Is it possible to run slint without desktop environment

[MohaBeacon]

Kindly let me know on cli linux versions

What do you mean exactly by running "Slint"?
If you mean running a Slint application without a display server such as wayland or Xorg. Yes, It is possible with the linuxkms backend which display the Slint application on the Linux frame buffer.

See https://docs.slint.dev/latest/docs/slint/guide/backends-and-renderers/backend_linuxkms/
And, in general https://docs.slint.dev/latest/docs/slint/guide/backends-and-renderers/backends_and_renderers/

you need to enable the backend-linuxkms cargo feature of slint.
