The agent's Alpine Linux terminal

The agent's Alpine Linux shell in PRoot, with pkg.

Agentic Space can run shell commands in a real Alpine Linux (aarch64) userland in PRoot. No root required. There is no separate terminal screen: the agent uses it through its terminal tools.

  • The root filesystem downloads on first use from Alpine's CDN and is verified with SHA-256.
  • Install packages with pkg, a friendly wrapper around apk:
pkg install python3 nodejs git clang openjdk17
  • The agent can keep several sessions running at once.
  • Turn the terminal tools on or off in the agent settings.
