Installation

Install Xquartz For Mac

May 05, 2015  icon type='apple'I need to tunnel X Window securely over SSH bases session so that I run X program on my remote Linux/Unix server/workstation and get back display to my Apple Macbook pro laptop. I tried the ssh -X user@server1 and ssh -Y user@server2 commands on both OS X Mountain Lion and Apple OS X Mavericks/Yosemite. But, I am unable to use the ssh command with X11.

Mac X11 Install

DownloadXQuartz-2.7.11.dmg,and open it in OSX’s Installer.

OS X Requirements

Default X11 Server

If this is your first time installing XQuartz, you may wish to logout and logback in. This will update your DISPLAY environment variable to point toXQuartz.app rather than X11.app. If you would prefer to keep using X11.app asyour default server (you can still launch XQuartz.app manually), you’ll wantto disable /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist usinglaunchctl(1).
