Hi,

Is it possibile hide Node-RED console during runtime execution ?

Best regards,

If you are using a Debian based os such as Ubuntu or raspbian and installed node red using the recommended script then the command node-red-start will start it as a service and you can close the terminal. Or configure it to start on boot and there is no need to use a terminal at all.

If you are on Windows then again you can configure it to run on boot as described in the node red docs. I don't use Windows so don't know about other alternatives there.

Or if you mean the Editor interface then that can be disabled by setting `disableEditor: true` in the `settings.js` file.

I need to hide terminal (if possibile) after configuring it to run on boot on Windows 10.
