Display Image, cannot reach X server

I am doing a project displaying some images with Ubuntu 18.04 on Windows. However, after some trials, I get the following message "display-im6.q16: unable to open X server `' @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/432."

Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this ? Thanks !

Install it, and run it before you launch any programs that require an X server.

Modify your .profile and add

export DISPLAY=:0.0
