If you look to your right, you’ll see there is a terminal that is actually running fully in your browser and simulate a fully functional Linux terminal! Unfortunately, due to browser restrictions, access to the internet from this virtual machine is extremely limited.

Be aware: When you close this browser window your virtual machine will be shut down and all changes will be lost.
