Hey @moanra Can you give us more information? How did you set this up? What operating system are you using?

It looks like you are on Windows, so you need to have an X server running in order to access the xhost command. I don't know much about Windows, but you could try to use Cygwin.

Cygwin/X consists of an X server, X libraries, and nearly all of the standard X clients, such as xterm, xhost, xdpyinfo, xclock, xeyes, etc. Many more X programs are also packaged for Cygwin. See also the features and screenshots pages.

That said,

Currently Windows is not supported (see #263); you will need Mac OS or Linux (or a virtual environment on Windows that runs either of those).

There have been some helper scripts for Windows added recently (build.cmd and run.cmd, see #294) in the development branch (https://github.com/openworm/OpenWorm/tree/development) and these work fine for running the simulation & generating the movie. Could some others test?

Fixed by adding windows specific scripts
