How to run a script in a greengrass component environment for testing/development

Question

For testing/development Is it possible to manually run a program which is destined to run in a greengrass component, in some sort of assumed greengrass environment for testing.

For example, if there was some way via the CLI to assume a greengrass component environment, and then just manually execute the script/program to test.

Accepted Answer

Hi Majh,

My suggestion is to deploy the J[upyter Lab component](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-greengrass-labs-jupyterlab) onto your device. Apart from providing a experimentation platform in case you are developing in Python, you can open a terminal session running in Greengrass. From there you can execute scripts or any other piece of code as your custom component would do.
