I've cloned git and installed elasticsearch-head.

I've been running it in the background while the terminal is running, but I want to keep it running after I close the terminal.

I ran the following command, but when I close the terminal, I cannot access elasticsearch-head from my browser.

```auto
$ nohup npm run start &

```

Is there any better way to do this?

I think there is not much we can do in this forum here other than directing you to the original developer

and maybe open an issue there

My apologies.

I'll ask the developer.
