To leverage Aptana’s built-in terminal emulator for running server-side scripts and performing command-line tasks, follow these steps:
1. Open Aptana Studio and navigate to the desired project.
2. Locate the “Terminal” view at the bottom of the workspace; if not visible, go to Window > Show View > Terminal.
3. Click on the “+” icon in the Terminal view to open a new terminal session.
4. Choose the appropriate shell (e.g., Bash, PowerShell) based on your operating system and preferences.
5. Use the terminal to execute server-side scripts by typing commands directly or navigating to the script location and running it.
6. Perform other command-line tasks such as Git operations, file management, and package installations within the terminal.
7. Monitor output and errors in the terminal window, making adjustments to your code as needed.
