<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jeremy, <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">you need to install XMing, if you don't
have it already. Then you can test the command "export DISPLAY=:0"
simply by typing into the terminal (that will only work for the
current session). <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suggest you paste it into your
~/.bashrc file; open it with an text editor and just paste the
command there and then type "source ~/.bashrc" into the terminal
(or restart the application). <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You can test if the DISPLAY variable is
set correctly by "echo $DISPLAY" (it should output :0)</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Best,</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to run the latest version of xcrysden for wsl,
version 1.6.2. My issue is that when I try to run, it gives
the following error:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
<div>application-specific initialization failed: no display
name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

"if {
$xcrys(platform) == "windows" } {

</div>
<div>I see on the download page of the website it says I need to
"define the DISPLAY enviromental variable, i.e., export
DISPLAY=:0". How do I do this? Where would I do this? I'm
quite lost.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
