Knime Analytics Platform on headless Machine

Hello,

I’d like to run a few workflows from a headless machine. Knime analytics platform works well in batch mode (cf. https://www.knime.com/faq#q12) from my computer (running Ubuntu).

However, I can’t run knime from Ubuntu Server (without a graphical environment).

Here’s my error message:

knime -nosplash -reset -nosave --launcher.suppressErrors -consoleLog -application="org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION"
libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Knime:
The Knime executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library.

NB: Knime 4.7 and 5.1 output the same error

When I install the missing library, a new library has to be installed and so on. Looks like I’m going to deploy a graphical environment step by step (not my purpose).

Can you tell me how to run Knime Analytics Platform on a headless machine, please?

Please note that I’m not a Java developer. I guess I’d have to modify the knime.ini file, but I can’t figure out exactly how.

Thanks
