Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to using linux in general and Paraview in particular.  
I am trying to view a case on a server using my local Paraview in the laptop.  
I have managed to connect between the server and Paraview on my laptop at last, but as soon as the connection is successful, I get this message " Display is not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering will be disabled."  
I am trying to follow up this issue but on the sever I can’t do some features such as installing using " apt or get " and I only managed to install anything using something like “wget”.

Could you please guide me as a beginner and in details “if possible” on how to activate the display from the server to my laptop in Paraview.

Appreciate it guys! Stay safe.

Do you have Xorg running on your server ?
