Xquartz setup

XQuartz is the X11 DDX that interfaces with Mac OS X. It was formerly shipped by Apple in OS X as X11.app and later transitioned to an Open Source project. XQuartz is an open-source version of the X.Org X server, a component of the X Window System (X11, or shortened to simply X, and sometimes informally X-Windows) that runs on macOS. It formally replaced Apple's internal X11 app.

Xquartz Setup

If this is your first time installing XQuartz, you may wish to logout and logback in to update your DISPLAY environment variable.

Changes in 2.2.0.1

  • All changes in 2.2.0 plus:
    • Updated /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx.d/10-tmpdirs to address a potential security risk (privilege escalation):
      • A user could create a symbolic link from /tmp/.X11-unix to /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx.d and execute privileged_startx to give himself write permission to /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx.d
