+# How to debug?
+
+If you are encountering issues with - most likely connecting the actual RDP session. Follow these steps!<br>
+Make sure you have exported the correct DISPLAY environment variable.<br>
+The way I do this - is in MeshCentral I enter the `Terminal` tab and enter `export DISPLAY=:0`.<br>
+
+> This makes sure all graphical apps pop-up on the actual monitor!
+
+Then if you want to debug `Credcon` do the following:
+
+```shell
+bash ~/Templates/credcon.sh
+```
+
+This will print the output to the current terminal, while keeping the GUI/Dialogue boxes on the monitor!
+
+Example output:
+```text
