so I am a noob at this and am trying to get the dagster-daemon and dagit to work correctly. I have set DAGSTER_HOME and issued the dagster-daemon run, but in dagit it show no daemons running. the docs do not seem very helpful as they all appear to be to run a specific file. Maybe I am not getting how the scheduler and sensors are supposed to work, but wi would think they would always be running and firing off based on schedules and sensor events?

Have you set the definitions in your code: https://docs.dagster.io/_apidocs/definitions#definitions

Hey Mike - my best guess here would be that DAGSTER_HOME isn't the same value in dagit and the daemon - how did you set the environment variable, are you sure that the way that you set it would apply to both processes?

I did the EXPORT DAGSTER_HOME=path_to_dagster

Did you do that for both dagit and the daemon?

I have to admit, I am growing increasingly frustrated trying to follow the examples. I create a virtual environment and set the DAGSTER_HOME, now it sounds like I have to launch the commands with that . is there no way to set it up so that the daemon is running in the background, for schedules, snesors, and launch dagit as a service so that it is always runngin as well?

I'd like us to add a

dagster start

command that starts both of these services for you and doesn't require you to think about environment variables at all - this post is a nice reminder that we should get that over the finish line

that would be a great solution
