[ncl-install] NCL install issue

Hello,

I checked to see if XQuartz was installed on my laptop.  I have XQuartz
2.7.11 installed.

I tried the NCL command and still get the same errors:

 GKS ERROR NUMBER -208 ISSUED FROM SUBROUTINE GOPWK :

 --X driver error: DISPLAY environment variable not set

/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/envs/ncl_stable/lib/ncarg/nclex/gsun/gsun02n.ncl



I tried the help page for setting the Display environment.
Below is a copy of my .bash_profile I edited:



# >>> conda initialize >>>

# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!

__conda_setup="$('/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook'
2> /dev/null)"

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

    eval "$__conda_setup"

else

    if [ -f "/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then

        . "/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"

    else

        export PATH="/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"

    fi

fi

unset __conda_setup

# <<< conda initialize <<<


# Settings for NCL

export NCARG_ROOT=/Users/Vanessa/miniconda3/envs/ncl_stable/bin/ncl

export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH

export DISPLAY=Vanessas-MacBook-Pro.local

~

Is there another step I can try to resolve the issue?

Thanks!
Vanessa
