Launch a Terminal Session

Terminal sessions provide text-based/command-line access and interaction with the operating system. In an environment such as JupyterHub, users have a limited ability to graphically interact with the underlying operating system. The terminal session gives users the ability to work directly with the filesystem via a Unix-like shell. This is a very useful tool, and one that has applications for anyone working in any field related to technology. Therefore, it is often useful and necessary to have interactions via a terminal session.

Launch a terminal on JupyterHub

  1. A new “Terminal #” window will appear your browser with a prompt similar to jovyan@jupyter-first-5flast:~$

In some browsers, when lunching a terminal, no text appears. If that is the case, visit Settings -> Terminal Theme -> Dark
