<p>You have miners on command line like <a href="https://github.com/veox/sgminer" rel="nofollow">sgminer</a> or <a href="https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer" rel="nofollow">cgminer</a>. You can use this with a GUI but it is not a requirement.</p>

<p>You can find usage guide on previous link.
Exemple for sgminer. After you build it and install it, you simply have to execute this command to lunch mining :</p>

<pre><code>sgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
</code></pre>

<p>Replace :</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>pool</strong> by adresse of your pool</li>
<li><strong>port</strong> by the port of your mining pool </li>
<li><strong>username</strong> and <strong>password</strong> by your pool login.</li>
</ul>

<p>I have compiled litecoin core and am currently running litecoind which is downloading the blockchain.</p>

<p>What other command-line tools do I need in order to mine litecoin without a GUI? And what are the other prerequesites (aside from a beefy rig with lots of graphics cards etc)? Can I just create a wallet and set the daemon running? Does the daemon mine coins or do I need to use litecoin-cli to instruct the daemon as to the location of my wallet etc?</p>

<p>I can't seem to find any decent command line guides - most seem to be for cgminer or litecoin-qt</p>

As with Bitcoin, it is not viable or worth your time to mine with a computer and hasn't been for a long time. Mining has moved to specialized ASIC processors which can do the job faster and much more efficiently.

I have compiled litecoin core and am currently running litecoind which is downloading the blockchain.

What other command-line tools do I need in order to mine litecoin without a GUI? And what are the other prerequesites (aside from a beefy rig with lots of graphics cards etc)? Can I just create a wallet and set the daemon running? Does the daemon mine coins or do I need to use litecoin-cli to instruct the daemon as to the location of my wallet etc?

You have miners on command line like sgminer or cgminer. You can use this with a GUI but it is not a requirement.
You can find usage guide on previous link.
Exemple for sgminer. After you build it and install it, you simply have to execute this command to lunch mining :
sgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password

Replace :

pool by adresse of your pool
port by the port of your mining pool 
username and password by your pool login.
