I have made executable file of python tkinter application. It runs well when clicked. But I want to run it at Boot time (AutoStart) in Raspberry Pi Os.

I have tried many methods but they didn't work.

One method which I tried will other applications:

> sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

@/home/pi/Downloads/exes/project2/work/dist/homeP (@path_of_file/applicatin_name)

This didn't work with my Current application, Even no error is observed. Please help me ??

I have tried many methods but they didn't work.

Try to create a bash file to execute your Tkinter app like:

startapp.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/pi/Downloads/exes/project2/work/dist/
python3 your_app.py

Then edit the autostart file:

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

Put your startapp in the autostart file:

@sh /home/pi/Downloads/exes/project2/work/dist/startapp.sh

    Why is everything using sudo? That's supposed to be a secure command that you use sparingly.
