    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.
