SOLVED terminal in openbox

I just finished installing archlinux and I installed openbox, I'm planning on using it as standalone. I started to configure it but I can't find the terminal...is it supposed to be the same as X? or do I have to install a new terminal emulator?
if so what do you suggest?

thank you

Yes, you need to install a terminal emulator. Switch to a tty and install one. There is urxvt (rxvt-unicode in the repos), xterm, lxterm, and a whole lot more.

I suggest you check out the wonderful Arch Wiki
