I have Calendar installed on Lubuntu and use an Openbox session. What command starts the app?

If the app is GNOME Calendar, run gnome-calendar in the terminal. That launches the graphical app rather than printing a calendar in the terminal.

If you aren't sure which calendar app is installed, open it from the menu and check the running processes with top. The process name can give you a clue about the command to try.

For a calendar displayed directly in the terminal, try cal or ncal -b. Those are separate terminal utilities, not commands for opening the graphical Calendar app.
