You can use the `commands.run()` method to run terminal commands inside the sandbox.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript icon="js" theme={"system"}
  import { Sandbox } from 'novita-sandbox/code-interpreter'

  const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()

  const result = await sandbox.commands.run('ls -l')
  console.log(result)

  await sandbox.kill()
  ```

  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from novita_sandbox.code_interpreter import Sandbox

  sandbox = Sandbox.create()

  result = sandbox.commands.run('ls -l')
  print(result)
