 Another option to open an image saved on a remote server is to establish an X11 forwarding connection to the server and use an image viewer. For that, you need to:
   - Ensure you have X11 installed on your local machine (XQuartz on macOS, typically installed X server on Linux).

+===== 6. Displaying NIFTI images in command line =====
 To quickly preview neuroimaging images in NIFTI format on the terminal, you can use ''niicat'' (see [[https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/niicat?tab=readme-ov-file|here]]). For that, you would not need an X11 forwarding connection, as it prints the image in your terminal using [[https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel|libsixel]]. ''niicat'' can display niftii, png, jpg, or similar images. Importantly, though, to display images with ''niicat'', you need to work on a terminal that supports sixel (see [[https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel#terminal-requirements|here]]).

+===== 7. X11 Forwarding =====
 X11 forwarding is a feature that allows you to run graphical applications installed on a remote server and display them on your local machine as if they were running locally. The “X11” part refers to the X Window System (version 11), which is a protocol and system for managing graphical displays on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.
