RPI3 B+ with Touchscreen running UI

So the idea was to setup the AutoPi according to the inital kickstarter information And based on this comment here Since the options described in the first post are not available in this version of AutoPi I opted for first trying to use the second solution and setup a UI using the online UI to get some practical experience. So initial setup setting up the RPI3 and the Touchscreen according to this discussion https://community.autopi.io/t/using-the-rpi3-adaptor/293 *Then installing th…

I saw this, but the instructions are a bit disjointed. To clarify, is this the correct steps?

*Then installing the X environment and configuring it to run in Kiosk mode on the RPI3 based on information taken from this post
Raspberry Pi 2/3: Chromium in Kiosk mode
In short I ran the following commands in SSH:

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• sudo apt-get install unclutter chromium-browser
• sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xinit
• sudo apt-get install lightdm
• sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-mods
• sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

Edit the config with (This is up to you to define based on you needs, this example should not be taken as the correct or only way):

#@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
#@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@point-rpi
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@sed -i ‘s/“exited_cleanly”: false/“exited_cleanly”: true/’ ~/.config/chromium-browser Default/Preferences
@chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --kiosk https://my.autopi.io --disable-translate

After this you should now have a Kiosk mode RPI3 with touchscreen enabled that is using the http://my.autopi.io/ UI.

Issue: cant find /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
Solution:
A) Copy the content from the global autostart into your /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart or,
B) Put all your commands in the global file and don’t create a user autostart file.
