Problem to launch grid setup for oracle linux

Question

[oracle@oavn grid]$ ./gridSetup.sh
ERROR: Unable to verify the graphical display setup. This application requires X display. Make sure that xdpyinfo exist under PATH variable.
Can't open perl script "/u01/app/19c/grid/bin/gridSetup.pl": (null)

This is the error message seems like I cannot solve it.

I already try to change some of the text using gedit and I already make sure all has the same name and host and everything.

You need to have X-Windows services running on the server. This is usually graphical.target (previously run level 5).

If you are using ssh to connect to the server, you will need X-Windows on your client as well. Then use ssh -X, ssh -Y or put the following in your .ssh/config file:

Host *
    ForwardX11 yes

You can check the DISPLAY environment variable is set:

$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

And you can test by running xclock on the server command line, which will run the open the clock on your own monitor.

Note that this is for Unix-based (e.g. Linux) client and server. You can use Cygwin (cygwin.com) on some alternative OS's.
