Orca version
1.4.139
Details
I installed Orca on my machine for the first time today and started exploring its features. I noticed the Remote SSH functionality and decided to connect to my Debian 13 development VM, which I normally access over SSH without any issues.
The SSH connection itself is established successfully, and I'm able to open an existing project. However, as soon as Orca attempts to launch an integrated terminal, it fails with the following error:
node-pty is not available on this remote host
I searched for possible solutions and tried troubleshooting with Claude, including:
- Verifying that Node.js is installed and available in my
PATH
- Installing common build dependencies
- Confirming that the correct Node.js version is being used
Unfortunately, none of these steps resolved the issue.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug, a missing dependency, or something specific to my environment. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Node.js (remote)
I use nvm to manage Node.js versions on the remote machine.
Expected behavior
After connecting to the remote host via SSH, Orca should be able to launch an integrated terminal successfully.
Actual behavior
The SSH connection succeeds, but opening a terminal fails with:
node-pty is not available on this remote host
If there are any additional logs or diagnostic information that would be helpful, I'd be happy to provide them.
