The trick here is to use an Xserver on another machine to display the GUI elements you can't see on a server. Set the environment variable to the local machine running the Xserver. Where this is an IP address and the screen # on the X server.
then run :
With another Ubuntu machine you will need to change firewall rules to allow this. Using windows you can do this with MobaXterm which runs a local X server.
