Command line? Put the VI on run when opened, and from the CL run it:

c:\program files (x86)\Nati.....\LabVIEW.exe "path to VI"

build vi to .exe or whatever the equivalent on linux/macos will be,

use python subprocess module (e.g. subprocess.call(["my", "cmd", "with", "arguments"] ) for the commandline execution.

done.

you need a runtime on the machine you will be running on http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361N-01/lvconcepts/using_the_lv_run_time_eng/

you need an executable, by either defining a build specification for a project,

or for a standalone vi, you can go to "Tools -> Build Application (.exe)" which will then create a project and open the Build Specification Dialog.

i assume you know python

i don't know whether you can run on / build for arduino,

i just assumed you would be doing something from a windows machine with the arduino.
