Advanced terminal workflow

When to use the terminal

The local terminal is an advanced, flexible VPServ interface. Use it when you want manual control over a supported tool workflow, need to enter a custom project command, or want to inspect direct command output while debugging.

Install supported tools manually

Open the local terminal and use pkg or vpkg when you need the advanced manual path for a supported tool. Follow the project's instructions for the exact supported tool and command sequence.

pkg install <supported-tool>

Run custom commands

• Open the project folder in the terminal workflow you are using.
• Run the custom command the project author has tested for VPServ.
• Inspect the command output as it runs.
• Keep long-running project services in a prepared recipe when another user needs a repeatable Run Environment flow.

Debug a project workflow

1. 01

   Confirm the project works with its expected command inside VPServ.

2. 02

   Compare the tested executable and arguments with the recipe's command array.

3. 03

   Check that the required service executable is available, or install the supported tool through Global Tools Manager or the terminal path.

4. 04

   Review setup command output and available service logs.

5. 05

   Return to the prepared Run Environment workflow once the recipe is corrected and tested.
