Exec one-off commands
Learn how to create and manage compute instances for executing code securely.
Exec one-off commands
Execute any shell command within the secure environment:
// Run a simple command
const result = await compute.exec('echo "Hello World"');
console.log(result); // Output: Hello World
// Run multiple commands
const result = await compute.exec('pwd && ls -la');
// Run a Python script
const result = await compute.exec('python3 script.py');
// Install packages
const result = await compute.exec('npm install express');
The exec
method runs commands in a shell environment, allowing you to:
- Execute any shell command
- Run scripts in any language
- Install packages
- Chain commands using
&&
or||
- Use pipes and redirections
