      @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

                    @sdetweil sure did. I had to create an user to run your script since it wouldn’t allow me to do in root

                              @sdetweil i think i got it working. I deleted everything and run your script again in “pi” user.

                              one question, I just enabled auto start and how do i disable it ? I need to config the config file
