# Pixel Terminal Setup

Tested devices: Pixel 8 Pro & Pixel 8

1. Enable `Developer Mode`

To enable Developer Mode on an Android device, navigate to Settings > About phone, and tap the Build number seven times in rapid succession. A message will appear indicating Developer options have been enabled. You may need to enter your device's security credentials (PIN, pattern, or password) to confirm. 

2. Search for `Linux Development Environment` in `Developer Options`

## Port Control

Grant port access for related services. For example, grant port access of `32123` for running `agentmakestudio`.

## Manage Shared Folder or Files

For example, use `Total Commander` app to organise files in the `Downloaded` folder, which are accessible in the Pixel Terminal's `/mnt/shared`
