# Create sandbox and connect to terminal

export const SandboxCliConfigHint = () => {
  if (typeof document === "undefined") {
    return null;
  } else {

With the following command, you can use the command line tool to start a sandbox and connect to the terminal.

```bash Bash icon="terminal" theme={"system"}
novita-sandbox-cli sandbox create <template-id>
```

You can interact with the sandbox directly from the terminal. Run `exit` to exit the connection. Once disconnected, the sandbox will be killed automatically.
