Hi, I’m William, a non-technical person hoping to learn from this community. I have a question about Replit.ai: When creating an app, I don’t see the picture the agent refers to. What additional steps or installations are needed to view the app properly in a web browser?

Hi William! Welcome to the community! :blush:
If you’re using Replit.ai to create an app and the agent refers to a picture that you can’t see, here are a few things to check:

1. Ensure the Image Exists in Your Project

  • If the agent is referencing an image, check if the file actually exists in your Replit file manager.
  • If missing, upload it manually or check if the app is generating it dynamically.

2. Correct the Image Path

  • Make sure the image path is correct in your code.
  • If using an HTML file, the image should be referenced like this:
    <img src="static/my_image.png" alt="My Image">
  • If using Python with Flask, make sure your image is in the static folder.

3. Check the Webview or Open in a New Tab

  • Replit sometimes doesn’t display images properly in the default preview. Try opening your app in a new tab:
    • Click “Open in new tab” from the Replit preview window.

4. Install Any Missing Dependencies

If your app is using a framework like Flask or Django, install dependencies by running:

pip install flask

5. Use the Correct Hosting Method

  • If your app is built with Flask, make sure you’re using app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080).
  • Replit assigns a public URL—check if the image loads there.

If you’re unsure, feel free to share the framework or code you’re using, and I’d be happy to guide you step by step!

Also try to ask the Replit Agent :grinning_face: It will suggets you all this and make a changes for you.
