### Running Commands within Nodes
You can double click a node to bring up a terminal for running shell commands. Within
the terminal you can run anything you like and those commands will be run in context of the node.
For standard CORE nodes, the only thing to keep in mind is that you are using the host file
system and anything you change or do can impact the greater system. By default, your terminal
will open within the nodes home directory for the running session, but it is temporary and
will be removed when the session is stopped.
You can also launch GUI based applications from within standard CORE nodes, but you need to
enable xhost access to root.
```shell
xhost +local:root
```
