# Terminal

The Terminal provides direct access to the environment where your project runs. It allows you to monitor build logs, run commands, and verify your application's status in real-time.

## Key features

  <strong>Tip</strong><br />
  If the agent is running a task, you can open the terminal to see exactly what commands it's executing and their output.

## Troubleshooting

* **Server crashed?** Check the terminal logs for error messages to share with the agent.
* **Dependency issues?** You can run `npm install` manually in the terminal if needed.
