bad X server connection for WMA pipeline

[kavandeloo97]

Hi there, I get the following error when attempting to run the first step in the WMA pipeline (https://whitematteranalysis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subject-specific-tractography-parcellation.html). I do personally have XQuartz running on my local, but I am assuming this is related to the docker. Any insight is appreciated!

Very normal. It won't run in a headless mode. You need to have GUI or GUI server for this.
Install WMA directly in your Linux computer and run it there.

Thanks. Can it be run on a Mac?

Ask whitematteranalysis folks. Sorry!
