Hello balasahu,

Also want to add what Scrutinizer has mentioned already, if in case DISPLAY variable is NOT set in the box(way has been provided by Scrutinizer in POST#2) then you could do following too.
Code:
DISPLAY=your_box_ip_address:0.0; export DISPLAY;

Then you could run your installable in the box.

NOTE: I hope you aware that there are tools available for displaying GUI installation or un-installation tasks from *NIX boxes to on standard output(your screen), eg--> xming, humming bird etc. For these kind of tools only we have to set this variable mostly.

Thanks,
R. Singh
