[ncl-talk] NCL installation

[Anahita Amiri Farahani]

Dear Mary,

Yes, I opened a terminal and typed: ng4ex xy01n -clean

I have the latest version: 10.13.6

echo $SHELL: /bin/bash

echo $DISPLAY does not show anything

I downloaded XQuartz-2.7.11.dmg
<https://dl.bintray.com/xquartz/downloads/XQuartz-2.7.11.dmg>

Thanks,
Ana
