It is command line. Actually Compton is a fork of xcompmgr. Now there's
a simple GUI for configuring it, but it's easier to handle in a
terminal. I made a short and easy guide to handle it:

Reading the blog report it looks like Compton is CLI based?? Seems
like it
is as he is showing the various line items to set it up . . . I'd
prefer a
simple GUI item that I can check or uncheck. Either of those other
apps
"xcompmgr" or "cairo-compmgr" GUI items, or all are CLI??

I think that actually compton isn't really CLI based but a grapical
application that is configured with a configuration file. I think I
remember seeing one or two differnt GUI utilities for compton but I
don't think they made it into the repos and with ppas not being build
for powerpc I am not sure if there are builds for them. Sometimes
compiling a GUI from source is harder than just editing the config
files. I seem to remember one a while back called paranoid that came
with pclinuxos but have not really seen that elsewhere or widely
discussed.
I think I know quite a bit for someone who doesn't really like
compositing or desktop effects.
