Simultaneously run a terminal and RStudio
Is it possible to simultaneously run a terminal and RStudio from the same instance? I do most of my exploratory work at the unix prompt (via grep/sed/awk/sort/etc) but then like to flip to RStudio to make plots of the data. In principle I could move data back and forth to a google bucket but it would be much more efficient for exploratory analysis to just have a terminal on the same instance where RStudio is running.
Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Thanks for writing in. While you can't open a separate Terminal window on the same billing project cloud environment while RStudio is running, RStudio has a built-in Terminal that is functionally equal to the Terra terminal (which is actually a Jupyter terminal). Would you be able to utilize the Terminal built into RStudio? Or does this pose any particular challenges for you?
Kind regards,
Jason
Thats working for me, although is it possible to ssh into the node? Then I could use my regular terminal applications
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Glad to hear! Unfortunately, Terra policy is set up in such a way that sshing to nodes directly is not allowed, due to security concerns. If you have any further questions about this or anything else, please let me know and I'll be happy to follow up with our engineers.
Kind regards,
Jason
