trying to access Apollo from my Mac.
I was at first under the impression that X11 was inbuilt in my Mac Terminal so I thought that I could access "Apollo"- the annotation system as X11 is needed for this. I was told that turning on X11 was done by typing "xeyes" but this retuned "Cannot open display".
When I typed "apollo &" and hit enter.
It returns "No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it".
I downloaded "XQuartz" in the hope that this would solve the problem but the same command returned the same error.
Any tips?
Start X-Quartz. Then run apollo from the terminal (xterm) that is opened by X-Quartz. If a terminal does not open automatically go up to "applications" and then choose terminal (apple + N).
Tried that but it returned:
You will need to provide full path to the location of apollo executable or amend your $PATH with that directory so you can run apollo from anywhere on the system. Do you know the location of apollo on your computer?
No I don't know the location
I'm not familiar with the directory pathways as I'm working on an external server.
Your provide this critical piece of information now ...
In that case you will want to try this from the X11 terminal.
This should setup X11 forwarding (in theory).
Once you log in to the remote server then make sure you can see apollo
If you see a valid path then run apollo
