# Kyma Ter Overview

> Kyma Ter is the local multi-agent terminal workspace for running Kyma Agent and shell sessions side-by-side in a browser UI.

Kyma Ter is the workspace layer in the Kyma product stack.

* `Kyma API` is the hosted backend
* `Kyma Agent` is the `kyma` coding agent
* `Kyma Ter` is the local multi-agent terminal workspace

Install:

```bash theme={null}
# Recommended on macOS/Linux
curl -fsSL https://kymaapi.com/install.sh | bash

# Recommended on Windows
npm install -g @kyma-api/agent
```

If you are in PowerShell or Windows Terminal, use `npm install -g @kyma-api/agent`.

Run it with:

```bash theme={null}
kyma-ter
```

Kyma Ter starts a local server, opens a browser UI, and lets you run multiple terminal sessions in parallel.

## Support Matrix

Current support position:

* macOS: supported
* Linux: supported
* Windows: beta

On Windows:

* `kyma` runs natively
* `kyma-ter` is available
* shell panes work best with WSL2

## What Kyma Ter Does

Kyma Ter is built for local, parallel terminal work:

* open multiple panes in the same workspace
* run Kyma Agent and shell sessions side-by-side
* switch between workspaces
* manage sessions from a browser UI on localhost
* keep local config and local state on your machine

## Pane Types

Kyma Ter currently supports two main pane types:

* `Kyma Agent` panes, which run the `kyma` command
* `Shell` panes, which run a normal terminal session

This makes it useful for workflows like:

* one pane for planning with Kyma Agent
* one pane for editing or running commands manually
* one pane for verification or logs

## Local-First Architecture

Kyma Ter runs locally:

* the Go server runs on your machine
* the browser UI connects over local HTTP and WebSocket routes
* local config is stored in your OS user config directory
* the binary lives under `~/.kyma/ter/`

Kyma Ter is not a hosted cloud console. It is a local workspace around your local terminal environment.

## Workspace Features

Kyma Ter includes:

* tiling pane layouts
* multiple workspaces
* keyboard shortcuts
* setup flow for Kyma Agent
* file drag-and-drop into terminal panes
* tasks and notes side-panel support

* [Kyma Ter Quickstart](/guides/kyma-ter/quickstart)
* [Kyma Ter + Kyma Agent](/guides/kyma-ter/kyma-integration)

## When To Use Kyma Ter

Use Kyma Ter when one terminal window is no longer enough.

Good fits:

* running multiple agent sessions in parallel
* mixing AI-driven panes with manual shell work
* keeping planning, coding, and verification visible at once
* working locally but wanting a structured browser workspace

If you just want a single interactive coding session, start with [Kyma Agent](/guides/agent).
