# Interactive apps (VICE)

Launch, share, and customize VICE interactive apps such as RStudio, JupyterLab, and Cloud Shell in the Discovery Environment.

* [Interactive analysis in the Discovery Environment](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/overview/) - VICE interactive apps in the Discovery Environment: featured apps, requesting VICE access, launching, Data Store access, Git, and instant and quick launches.
* [RStudio in 6 steps](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/quick-rstudio/) - Quick start: launch RStudio as a VICE interactive app, create a project, and terminate the app when you finish.
* [JupyterLab in 6 steps](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/quick-jupyter/) - Quick start: launch JupyterLab as a VICE interactive app, work with Data Store files, and terminate the app when you finish.
* [Cloud Shell in 6 steps](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/quick-cloudshell/) - Quick start: launch the Cloud Shell terminal app in the Discovery Environment and use it to work with the Data Store.
* [Running your LLM for inference with Ollama](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/quick-ollama/) - Quick start: run open-source large language models with Ollama inside a GPU-enabled JupyterLab PyTorch app in the Discovery Environment.
* [Data Store in interactive apps](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/csi/) - How the Kubernetes CSI driver mounts the Data Store at /data-store inside VICE apps, its latency limits, and when to use it.
* [Creating a shareable quick launch button](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/quick-app-launch/) - Create saved launches, embeddable buttons, and shareable URLs that start a Discovery Environment app with preset settings.
* [Extending interactive apps](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/discovery-environment/vice/extend-apps/) - Copy an existing VICE app, modify an existing tool's container, or build a new Docker-based tool and interactive app in the Discovery Environment.
