Opening the MarkVision Application on a UNIX system
If you are using MarkVision Professional from a UNIX system, you can access MVP from either a
command line or the MarkVision Professional Web Client.
Using the MVP UNIX Client from the command line:
If it is supported by your workstation, you can use the X Window system. To use MarkVision with X,
you must set the display variable.

Set the DISPLAY environment variable.
•
Korn (ksh) and Bourne (sh) shell users type the following:
Display=hostname:0.0
export DISPLAY
Where hostname is the name of your workstation.
•
C shell users type the following:
setenv DISPLAY disphost:0.0

If you are running the MarkVision Professional UNIX Client on a different host computer than
your X server, make sure the remote host has permission to access your display. For
example, if the MVP UNIX Client is running on the host flora, type the following in the
command line:
xhost + flora

point your browser to the following URL:
http://190.168.112.21:9180/markvision
