@sdetweil but if I weee to rotate my screen, my entire screen will be vertical, including my terminal which is not what I want. My main computer screen is where I work on the git cmd and I open up another browser in the same screen monitor. Is there any way to just rotate the browser showing the mm?

hi im currently testing out MM using GIT CMD and opening my view in web browser local host. are there any way to rotate the view to vertical? all various article and guide seems to point towards a rpi rotation and not a windows version.

help appreciated. thanks.

Sorry guys it’s getting too technical for my limited understanding.

I don’t have a pi yet. I’m on a pc with the git cmd, how do I “cast” to the tv/monitor?

When I subsequently get a pi, how do I uh ssh from pc to pi?

Is there like a 101 guide to both above?

@sdetweil thanks so much bruh. Couple of more questions if you don’t mind…

1. so I can use my tv, go into the browser and enter local host:8080 and I’m in? Assuming they are on the same network. Otherwise what would the web link be? I don’t suppose being on a different network works?

2. in future when I setup the pi, I’ll have to install everything on the sd card and put into the pi. And the pi is behind the wall display… so assuming 1 fine day I would like to make changes, how do I go about doing it since I can’t use the terminal on my pc to make the changes?
   Do I have to take the pi out from the wall display, connect the pi to another monitor and do my edits in the other monitor? Or does the pi on the wall display allow me to do edits? How do people go about doing this, I just can’t wrap my head around this…

@sdetweil so i used your fix with the link that you provided and i can go into MM.

there is something i dont get though… The MM app itself is ‘electron’?

and my git cmd is ‘terminal’?

when i want to install module etc, i have to close the terminal and reopen and npm start again? is there a way to work continuously on the terminal without closing and opening?

right now im working on windows and subsequently i will shift to raspberry PI. how do i transit everything over to the PI? or do i have to resetup everything?

and if im working on the windows, can i ‘cast’ the MM to anywhere else other than a web browser?

@sdetweil but when i go to localhost 8080 via web browser it appears to show the screen. is that normal?

@sdetweil
