1. How can i get into my projects terminal?

To get access to the terminal simply click the Open terminal button.

Copy your password to clipboard by clicking the button.

Type project as username

Paste your password by pressing Ctrl + Shift + V simultaneously and submit it with Enter. The password won't be visible.

2. How to install packages?

The easiest way to install a package is by clicking the Packages button in upper-right corner of the main view of your project.

Then you just need to write the name of the package you'd wish to install in the field in the bottom of the window that has showed up and click Install.

You could do this via Interactive Console or terminal as well. Depending on language it would be

• Python (!pip3 for Python3)

!pip install package_name

• Julia

Pkg.add("package_name")

• R

install.packages("package_name")

• Octave

pkg install package_name

3. How to install system libraries?

The easiest way to do that is by logging in to the terminal and then simply typing in

> sudo apt-get install -y package_name other_package_name

However, you could do that from the Interactive Console as well by typing in acordingly

• Python or Octave

!sudo apt-get install -y package_name

• Julia - mind the backticks (grave accents)!

Base.run(`sudo apt-get install -y package_name other_package_name`)

• R

system("sudo apt-get install -y package_name other_package_name")

4. How to connect my project to GIT repository?

You can do it by typing in

git init
git remote add origin url-to-your-repository

into the terminal or Interactive Cosnole.

In case if you want to create a new repository type:

git checkout -b master
git add README.md
git push

Otherwise just pull all the data:

git fetch && git pull

6. How can i publish my project and what does it involve?

You can now publish your project by simply clicking the Publish button in the upper-right corner of IDE, or in the Dashboard by clicking the Publish Project icon.
