Accessing The Terminal

To access The Terminal, you will need to have node.js and an up to date version of npm, which includes the npx command.

Then run the command:

# Start The Terminal

Create an Account

The security for the root account has recently been compromised by a security patch.

Quickly, before it re-secured, log into the root account using the password admin123.

$ npx the-terminal

Login as: root
root's password: admin123

Once you've signed into the root account, you will have access to create a user.

# Create an Account
root$ adduser <your-username>

Follow the prompts and then exit.

# exit The Terminal
exit

Log back into The Terminal using your newly created credentials.

npx the-terminal
Login as: <your-username>
<your-username>'s password: <your-password>

You will have an email waiting for you with further instructions.
