# Interactive Analysis

The interactive analysis features of Terra support interactive data exploration, including the use of statistical methods and graphical display. Versatile and powerful interactive analysis is provided through Jupyter Notebooks in both Python and R languages.

Jupyter Notebooks run on a virtual machine (VM). You can customize your VM’s installed software by selecting one of Terra's preinstalled notebook cloud environments or choosing a custom environment by specifying a Docker container. Dockers ensure you and your colleagues analyze with the same software, making your results reproducible.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://bdcatalyst.gitbook.io/biodata-catalyst-documentation/written-documentation/analyze-data-1/terra/running-analyses-on-terra/interactive-analysis-with-jupyter-notebooks.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
