Server implementation

Besides a Qt console, spyder-terminal also provides a web-based terminal interface based on Tornado, which allows you to deploy and serve terminals from a Web/Javascript frontend. To deploy only the server, you can execute the following bash script:

cd spyder_terminal/server

# Shell option:

# On Unix systems this can be bash/tcsh/zsh or any Unix shell:
# bash: /usr/bin/env bash

# On Windows systems this might be cmd or powershell:
# cmd: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\cmd.exe
# powershell: %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

python main.py --port <PORT> --shell <Path to the terminal backend to execute>
