can't run "npm run start"
-
I can do “npm run server” but not “npm run start”
Any takers?

@jefftse i had an error yesterday on a clean installation of raspberrian with npm and electron was involved, but I did it from another virtual desktop, (working with unencrypted VNC server) working on finding a solution.
-
@jefftse what os platform is this?
did you do manual install or use the script?
-
@actimbar did u use the install script?
-
@sdetweil by VNC desktop, I got stuck on step 4 of manual installation (npm install), I made a reboot before the error, now I’m trying (npm install) without VNC.
Now installation ended successfully!

Raspberry pi 4 raspbrian

I did and the same thing
-
@jefftse are u doing this over vnc without a real display?
the start script assumes a real display
change the package.json start to match your config"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",the start command is
npm start
-
I tried both. I even deleted the whole folder and reinstalled. Maybe electron is the problem.
-
@jefftse no, change the line in package.json
from"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",to
"start": "./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",the error is " cannot open display: :0.0" typically, DISPLAY:0 is the physical display
