Could anyone please tell me how to set up this Display variable. It
would be easier for me if I could install using GUI.

Thanks for any help.

try  
DISPLAY=value_here:0
export DISPLAY

Usually, value_here is node where you want display to show up.
If target node does not know your node name, you can try it's ip addy.
Example: You logged into server.some.where, you would do a

DISPLAY=131.204.80.38:0
export DISPLAY

This assumes node-80-38.tichenor.auburn.edu allows access from
server.some.where.

BTW, you will also need an X server on your workstation, whether you
set DISPLAY yourself or have SecureCRT and the remote server do
it for you.
