This tutorial shows how to access the Shell in Replit, which is the built-in terminal where you can run commands, install packages, and interact directly with your project's environment.
Note: You need a Replit account to get started. Sign up at replit.com if you don't have one yet. The Shell is only available inside an open project. You need to be in the workspace before following these steps.
- Sign in to your account at replit.com. Go to Projects and open a project from your Replit dashboard.
- In the workspace, click the + icon at the top to open a new tab.
- Type "Shell" in the search bar and select it from the results. The Shell tab opens in your workspace.
- Type a command in the Shell to get started - for example, ls to list your project files.
