# \[TBD] Node IDE

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Node IDE Compute is currently disabled.** 

Compute is in testing phase with trusted users. 
{% endhint %}

To use in-browser compute, simply click on the code component in your Node. This will activate the Node IDE, which is being built from the popular [open-source VScode platform](https://code.visualstudio.com/). 

In-browser IDE is ideal for running [Jupyter notebooks](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/). You can learn more about running Jupyter notebooks in the IDE extension of our node [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks). 

{% hint style="info" %}
**In-browser Node IDE.**

To run code in the Node IDE, you must ensure that the **source data** is in your Github repo. 

Alternatively, you can update your Github repo to use your Node's [dPIDs](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/interact-and-reuse/compute/tbd-data-to-compute) as data sources (highly experimental, limited support for data types). 

IDE compute comes from our cloud servers, and is presently offered for free for testing purposes. Please use respectfully as this feature is under active development.
