      Great tutorial but when I booted up my pi I got this:

      -bash: xset: command not found
      -bash: xset: command not found
      -bash: xset: command not found
      -bash: midori: command not found
      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ matchbox: can’t open display! check your DISPLAY variable.

      I do not know what to do to fix this.

        Hey!
        Try this link to a disc image from Andrius:

        So there is my MM image with Chromium for Raspberry Pi Zero W

        Works amazing for me, and I’m sure for you too!

        Cheers

          @Mikgabo Should I flash this to the SD card on my pi?

              Awesome! Last question. Do I have to remove the other things I have put on the SD card in my pi? Like everything other than raspbian and jessie? Im kind of new to this stuff

                So what I did was format the sd card and use win32 disc imager to flash the sd card, put it my my Pi Zero and it worked.
                After install I got rid of some stuff via the config file as I didn’t want all that stuff on my MM.
                Cheers!

                  Changed the display_rotate setting back to 0 but the display is still turned. Any suggestions?

                    Did you reboot?

                      @Mikgabo I unplugged the pi, removed the SD, and changed the rotate setting. Then, I put it back in and plugged the pi back in.

                        @greenwaydev I’m thinking you aren’t making the adjustment in the right location (possibly).

                        Try this from terminal:

                        sudo nano /boot/config.txt
                        

                        and add the following to the file. Where you add it doesn’t really matter:

                        # Rotate display virtically
                        display_rotate=0
