-a- usually you start

- online editor [https://editor.p5js.org](https://editor.p5js.org)  

- Processing IDE / p5.js Mode  

-b- but you show a picture of a directory with

- index.html
- sketch.js
- moon.jpg
- p5.js

and when you double click on

> index.html

and hope  
++ browser opens  
++ picture is shown

is that insofar that what you have done?

like when i follow my online link, download to my computer  
and see only the text  
“Loading”  
is that what is your problem?  
can use the diagnostic / inspect console log,  
but that shows only “problem load image file”

problem is you need a local server for that kind of things  
( while just draw a circle works fine )

so back to the first two points:

- online editor
- PDE p5.js mode

OR

- install a local node server  
i do on linux Raspberry Pi [here](http://kll.engineering-news.org/kllfusion01/articles.php?article_id=163)  
and load a moon.jpg  
and call that computer IP : port  
from a other computer in my LAN.

but you can do it on your PC too?
