# Progressive Web App (PWA) Guide

Insilico Terminal can now be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA), enabling you to access it like a native application directly from your device. This provides a seamless experience with features such as quick access without relying on a browser tab.

## What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)?

A PWA is a type of application delivered through the web but with the feel and functionality of a native app. It allows you to:

* Access the app from your desktop or mobile home screen
* Use the app in a standalone window without a browser interface
* Benefit from faster load times and enhanced caching

## How to Install Insilico Terminal as a PWA

#### On Desktop (Chrome/Edge/Brave)

1. Open the **Insilico Terminal** in your browser by navigating to <https://insilicoterminal.com>.
2. Look for the **"Install" icon** in the address bar (usually on the right side as a plus symbol or download icon).
3. Click the **Install** option when prompted.
4. The Terminal will now be available as an application on your desktop.

#### On Mobile (Chrome/Safari)

1. Open <https://insilicoterminal.com> in your mobile browser.
2. For **Chrome** on Android:
   * Tap the **three dots menu** in the top-right corner.
   * Select **"Add to Home Screen"**.
3. For **Safari** on iOS (note that Apple only allows PWAs to be installed through Safari, not through other Browsers):
   * Tap the **Share button** (square with an upward arrow).
   * Scroll down and select **"Add to Home Screen"**.
4. Follow the prompts to complete installation.

### Example for Safari on iOS:

The Terminal will now appear on your home screen, just like a native app.
