Running Roxie/Xroxie on Linux or MAC

Linux

From a linux machine, simply connect to the host using ssh -Y <hostname>. No tools or additional software required.

Mac

From a Mac, follow the following steps:

  1. Install xquartz as an X server.
  2. Enable indirect glx: defaults write org.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true (for XQuartz >=2.8) defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true (for XQuartz < 2.8).
  3. Connect to the host using ssh -Y <hostname>.
  4. Start Xroxie from the terminal, or runroxie directly.
