Then I did install.packages("rattle"); rattle()

And it crashes.

As @snAtchnAren said, you can open `X11` and use the terminal there to initialize `GTK`. I wrote a brief note on the full installation here: https://gist.github.com/zhiyzuo/a489ffdcc5da87f28f8589a55aa206dd — Zhiya, Sep 03 '17 at 20:30

Just install & open XQuartz and then try again!

I was trying to open a GUI application on a remote server over ssh but i received above errors. As suggested by @YogiEHunt I've installed XQuartz but the catch is I had to use the -X option while I ssh to the remote server only then the GUI application opens up using XQuartz, without -X option I couldn't open the GUI remotely.

ssh -X user@10.0.0.1
user$ application-command

After installing XQuartz you have to reboot your system.

The application that opened up using XQuartz is too slow though.

I found a solution to installing Rattle when the problem is that it fails to install RGtk2. https://rattle.togaware.com/

On Linux:

install.packages("https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2021-12-15/src/contrib/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.tar.gz", repos=NULL) On Windows:

install.packages("https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2021-12-15/bin/windows/contrib/4.1/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.zip", repos=NULL) On Mac:

install.packages("https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2021-12-15/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.tgz", rep
