Installing contemporary Rattle

Your problem solution would be interesting to me.
TIA

Well not a solution, but some additional observations.

install.packages("tibble")
works, and then library(rattle) results in a message about the depreciated graphics library, so my original
installation line was trying to install the old rattle, not the new rattle. Sadly, there was no hint to that (and the install was slow). So back to square one, but at least I now know why it failed!

Going into the terminal and using the rattleng linux installer from survivor.togaware.com (wget, unzip, execute) fails with a failure to connect to the display.

No doubt it would be easiest for someone on the Postit team to simply install it for everyone :> But barring that, does anyone have a clue as to how I can configure things to get past the DISPLAY issue?
