You are being selective in your reading
Read the whole thread and follow the links
These for example
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/314862/minimal-no-hassle-debian-install-with-functioning-x11-login-etc
but still I'm getting the error.

Thanks for reaching out, Bas.
According to
the first question, which link should I go with
on this page.
No idea what you actually link to
A few lines below are download links to
both QtQuickVCP and Machinekit for various
OS's.
I think you mean machinekit-client
Machinekit only runs on Linux.
Just pick the one for the os you’re going to run
machinekit-client on.
- Have you got any ideas why my Machinekit
Client acts up the way it does? I have
attached a photo of it in the original
post.
Yes, it can’t find machinekit instances. As per my
previous remarks, make sure there is an actual machinekit
(your BBB) started, and that you have enabled it to expose
itself so a remote UI can connect to it (the
machinekit.ini file)
Thanks

I have tried my
best to understand the
fundamental ins and outs of
running Machinekit on BBB from
my windows desktop, but there
are so many technical concepts
and approaches that I just can't
fully understand everything.
Although it seems I'm towards
the end of this, I'm already
frustrated, and since working
for a sort of tight deadline I
need some practical help, and
need that in layman's terms,
into the bargain, please.
I followed these instructions
to run M.K. on BBB from my
desktop. But I am badly thrown
off. I have apparently
successfully done everything
on that instruction page, but
just don't know how to
start what!! I don't
know what command to use
on the PuTTy.
You need to start
Machinekit when you’ve logged into
your BBB. Putty is just a terminal
you log onto your BBB. Everything
you type into that terminal, is as
if you would type on a keyboard
directly attached to the BBB on s
terminal on a screen directly
attached to the BBB.
(Please, as far as
possible, don't direct me to
start everything from scratch,
as I already had Debian Jessie
installed on BBB, but decided
to change it to Stretch.)
My newbie questions:
- Should Machinekit Client
be installed on my Windows
OS or on the BBB?! (I
already have M.K Client on
my Windows OS. but once I
start it, it keeps loading
in no veil, with no
available instances.)
Machinekit client on
your windows OS
Make sure that on your
BBB you have set REMOTE = 1 in the
file machinekit.ini
That file should be
here: /etc/linuxcnc/machinekit.ini
- According to the first
question, which link
should I go with on this page.
No idea what you
actually link to.
- AFAIK, I need a U.I on
my desktop to give me
access to the M.K. Is this
UI the Machinekit Client?
How can I start it from
PuTTY?
You start
machinekit-client from your Windows
PC. It’s a remote UI (seen from the
BBB perspective) and you don’t need
to start the UI from Putty (your
BBB) but from the pc.
In the putty terminal
type: machinekit
