Oh, sorry I thought you were working on a rosject…since this was posted in ROSDS support :thinking:

I’m sorry you cannot add more shells in the course environment. Ideally, you should not have to do anything that requires running more than four shells at a time. That said, you can still run more than four commands by running some in the background (using the & symbol after the command) so you can reuse the same terminal. e.g

# Launch the empty world in the background
roslaunch my_project empy_gazebo_world.launch &

# Launch another thing, maybe also in the background
roslaunch my_project spawn_model.launch &

# Run another command
...
