I suppose you're using linux.

1/ If you want to use Tcl/Tk in a terminal
Type
>wish
OR
>tclsh

This command allows you to use Tcl/Tk packages (they are normally
already installed those on your system).

"wish" runs Tcl and TK whereas "tclsh" runs only tcl.
If you want to use tk using tclsh, do the following:
>tclsh
>package require Tk (load the extension Tk)

Then type your script, for example:

>button .b -text "Salut mec" -command exit
>grid .b

2/If you want to run a script through the terminal

Put the following header in your script (ex your file
"I_should_read_the_doc.tcl"):
#!/bin/sh
or on most system that would work as well
#!/bin/env wish

If whish os in a different path, type
>which whish
and modify the path accordingly.

then from the terminal, source the code:
>source I_should_read_the_doc.tcl

3/ Though VMD without launching the GUI:
>vmd -dispdev text -e I_should_read_the_doc.tcl
