Terminal

The terminal gives you direct access to the cloud sandbox's Linux environment. You can run any command — install packages, build projects, start servers, and more.

Using the Terminal

The terminal panel is at the bottom of the workspace. It behaves like a standard Linux terminal with full PTY (pseudo-terminal) support, including:

• Interactive commands (vim, htop, etc.)
• Color output and ANSI escape codes
• Tab completion
• Command history

What You Can Do

Install Dependencies

npm install
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Development Servers

npm run dev
python manage.py runserver

Build Projects

npm run build
cargo build --release

System Commands

The sandbox provides a full Linux environment, so standard system commands work:

ls -la
cat package.json
which node

Agent Terminal Access

AI agents also use the terminal to execute commands. When an agent runs a command, you can see the output in real time in the terminal panel. This provides full transparency into what agents are doing in your workspace.

Tips

• The terminal session persists as long as the sandbox is running
• You can have multiple terminal sessions if needed
• Long-running processes (like dev servers) continue running in the background
• The terminal shares the same file system as the file browser and editor
