To install X11 on macOS, download and install the XQuartz Application from: FastXĪnother method for accessing graphical programs remotely from our Linux compute servers is FastX.
Yes, this may be backwards from what you might first expect. Terminology Note: The program displaying graphics on your local machine is called an X Server, and the process on the remote end is called an X client. In addition some *nix applications ported to macOS do not run natively under the macOS GUI and require X11. By running an X11 program (known as a server) on your computer, you can access graphical Linux programs remotely through an SSH client. X11 is a remote-display protocol used by Linux/Unix machines, including the Linux machines at Thayer.
