Running X Applications

You can run an X Windows application on the head node e.g. firefox.

  • Run an X Server on your client machine (e.g. XMing or MobaXTerm on Windows).
  • Make sure “X Forwarding” is enabled.
    • -X on ssh.
    • Option in putty (Connection / SSH / X11).
  • Can be quite slow depending on the application and the network connection.
