Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified.
How can I fix this problem?

How to execute windows commands from Ubuntu terminal?
I have a remote server running Linux and I am using macOS. I can connect to that server through ssh command. I noticed that ssh -X is used to enable X11 forwarding. So I tried to connect to that server by running ssh -X name#ip-address command and launched an application on the connection terminal. I expect that window should be shown on my macOS but it didn't. Is there any other configuration I need to set in other to make the X11 forward works?
Macs don't run their GUI in X. You need to install XQuartz first.
I have Ubuntu server where Google Chrome is installed. I am able to access that server using SSH from my Windows machine via Mobaxterm. I need to open Google Chromium on my machine which will open Ubuntu web page from Apache like http://localhost:8080 on my windows Chromium. Getting below error:
ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(261)] Gtk: cannot open display:
How can I resolve this?
Execute the following command before opening chromium browser on your mobaxterm
export DISPLAY=your_ipaddress:0.0
For Ex:-
Let us consider ip address as 192.168.0.1, then your command should be:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0.0
I'm connected to a remote Linux server via ssh, and I'm trying to execute ImageMagick's display command. I know that the problem is probably not on the server side, because when I connect from different machines I don't get the same problem. And I installed XQuartz on my local machine as well as connected using the ssh tags -Y and -X (neither fix the problem) and I'm still getting the following error. My computer is a MacBook Pro running El Capitan. Any idea?
display: unable to open X server `' # error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/426.
Thanks!
I think the trick is to start XQuartz in the background on your Mac before you do anything and allow remote machines to connect.
So, on your Mac, in Terminal, start XQuartz:
X &
Now right-click the XQuartz icon in your Dock and click:
Applications -> Terminal
and in the Terminal that appears, type:
xhost +
Later, when you have it working, tighten up the security on the xhost command by being a bit more specific with IP addresses.
