If you have Chromium browser (or Chrome of course) you can install the Secure Shell Chrome extension. Connect to localhost and you have terminal.

Binary addons are version specific, so to install a 9.0.108 addon you'd need to be running a 9.0 codebase LE image. It using an 8.1 image it won't install due to missing dependencies. In any case the system-tools addon does not provide a GUI terminal/console app.

Generic x86_64 images can start a local console on CTRL+ALT+F3 if "tty" is in kernel boot params (if absent it's not started). An alternative is adding "textmode" to boot params and the OS boots directly to a console (Kodi is not started). All LE images support booting in textmode, but "tty" is only supported on Generic.
