You will need to use a X11 client. Depending on what OS you are using there is Xquartz for macOS (which is free). On Windows there are a few options mentioned in this thread. Basic idea is you will log in to the remote server using tunneling (with -Y option for ssh on macOS) and then be able to project graphical display back to your local machine. Your server will need to have a browser installed locally that you can use.
