Build and Installation successful but blank screen after launching

[ayushd03]

I followed the instructions as mentioned. I made sure NPM, node and python were updated before beginning. Build was successful and I was able to install it without any errors. But after launching the application from command line I just get a blank screen. I tried to run it in development mode and tried to access localhost:3000 but it too just opens a blank page with the header Instagram Live Streamer but doesnt show any content. I tried it on Kali as well as Parrot OS and got the same output. Is there anything that I am missing ?

I get the same issue if I run npm run start and also if I run AppImage on my Gnu/Linux machine.

thought running with npm npm run electron-dev worked fine

[ahangarha]

should I open a new issue?

Hey @ahangarha, the commands npm run start won't show any results since it just runs the react server. The npm run electron-dev makes sure both the electron and react app is running together. If you are facing any issues while using the command, or while running npm run dist:linux take a closer look at the logs and let me know if you find any errors.

the Build process finishes with no error:

npm run dist:linux
