running python3 app at start up of Linux

I have the following script

#!/bin/bash
echo "Welcome to auto shell" 
cd /home/pi/Desktop/Home
echo "Running the server now.....!" 
echo "*************************" |& tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/Home/logs.log
echo "Today is " |& tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/Home/logs.log
date |& tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/Home/logs.log
python3 Server.py |& tee -a  /home/pi/Desktop/Home/logs.log

But the output is :

Today is 
Sat Nov 11 01:03:46 EST 2017
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Server.py", line 1, in <module>
    import radiojavan as rj
File "/home/pi/Desktop/Home/radiojavan.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pyautogui as gui
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyautogui/__init__.py", line 115, in <module>
    from . import _pyautogui_x11 as platformModule
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyautogui/_pyautogui_x11.py", line 160, in <module>
    _display = Display(os.environ['DISPLAY'])
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/os.py", line 725, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'DISPLAY'

the app has no problem running when I manually run it by typing python3 Server.py

UPDATE: Clarification to the post I need the app to start running after the user pi logged in because it will need to get access to chrome

Answer

So after the previous comment was made by rzzzwilson I did look into script after login and this fixed my issue

cd /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/

nano autostart

add this to the end of the file

@/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/Desktop/Home/Server.py
