    Ok, this is how I do it.
    While viewing the Pi via VNC, I press the Alt key
    This drops a menu bar down at the top of MM.
    You may not see your mouse/cursor until you move it all the way up into the menu bar.
    The far left menu has Quit in it.

    Relaunch the way you normally would launch MM

      Ok thank you! I get electron.js failed at MM start script when using npm start.
      I will try reinstalling the MM instead tomorrow!

        Wait, are you using VNC, because you CAN use npm start using that. Are you running server only?

          Yes Rpi zero and 1 only supports server only at this moment. What I’ve figured out so far and no I’m using Tera Term (almost like PuTTY) accessing it with SSH. But I connected my mouse and keyboard to find the mouse cursor, so I saw the X button on the Midori browser and closed it.

            Ok, there is a command specific to starting server only I think. Lemme see if I can find it for you before you reinstall anything.

            EDIT

            I think this is what you need

              Thanks again for trying, I will look it up tomorrow and try before reinstall. I think it is best to get a clean installation after everything I’ve tested now, start.sh might even be wrong at this moment. All I get when I reboot is localhost:8080 error something…

              This is what I got after those commands though, npm start gives me electron error, I read somewhere before about rpi zero/1 can´t handle electron.js somehow I think.

                Ok, keep me posted. I’ve never used anything other than a Pi 3 B or better, nor have I ever ran MM as node server only, but I am interested in knowing how you get it running.
