I know it's been 4 years, but i found a solution.

Follow this guide:
https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44251

Then, enter the kai folder:

Code:

cd ~/kai

Open a new file called launchkai.sh using nano:

Code:

nano launchkai.sh

Paste this into that file:

Code:

while true; do
sudo /home/pi/kai/kaiengine
sleep 1
done

To save this new file, press control+X, then Y, then enter.

Make the launchkai.sh file executable:

Code:

chmod +x launchkai.sh

Edit the system launch script:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add this line before the line that says exit 0:

Code:

sudo /home/pi/kai/launchkai.sh &

Press control+X, Y, enter.

Reboot your pi.

Code:

sudo reboot

See if you can enter the web interface. It should pop up.
