I'm trying to install APT on an Amazon EC2 through PuTTY. I've uploaded APT, found here, and followed these instructions to install. However, when I run sh install-linux64-apt.sh
in the proper directory, the result is an error:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set [...]
So I looked this problem up, and found an answer here. However, running setenv DISPLAY :0.0
or export DISPLAY=:0.0
both result in a failure of some sort (the first fails, and the second does nothing at all). So that answer doesn't help much.
What's the solution for this case?
Dealing with Linux from the command line is a real test of patience if you're new to it. Every time you solve one issue, another 2 or 3 seem to be waiting.. – None – 2014-05-02T00:03:50.233
A version of Ubuntu that controlled a remote machine would be fantastic. Short of that, any GUI to control an EC2 remotely would be great. The command line is painful if you didn't grow up on it. – None – 2014-05-02T00:05:43.057
