How do I open terminal in DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:17 pm

Terminal on DigitalOcean is a command-line interface that allows you to work with the servers and networks that DigitalOcean provides. To open terminal, go to the home screen and click on the Terminal icon.

To open a new terminal window, choose Window > New Terminal Window. To open a new terminal window with the same configuration as the current terminal window, choose Window > Open Current Terminal Window.

PRO TIP: If you are unfamiliar with the Linux command line, we do not recommend opening a terminal in DigitalOcean. The terminal is a text-based interface that allows you to enter commands directly into the system. This can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing, as you can easily delete files or change settings that can break your system.

To exit terminal, type exit or ctrl-D. To save the current terminal window, type save as.

To quit terminal and close all open windows, type quit.
