I have been trying to install balenaEtcher for 2 days but can't get rid of the following errors :

ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(247)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[10145:1109/120137.666202:ERROR:env.cc(226)] The platform failed to initialize.  Exiting

I have tried everything I could find with google searches to no avail. My $DISPLAY variable is blank which may be the source of the problem.But what should it contain?

I know that the information I am giving is a bit sketchy but is the best I can do at this point. There are lots of fixes listed on the internet but none of them work. I am using the .deb file down loaded from the balena web page and installing it with dpkg -i .

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
