I have started to learn Python and so far my setup has been following - Python 3.5 installation on Win10 64bit local machine with PyCharm as a great IDE. Everything works, matplotlib charts and other visual outputs display fine, debugging works, etc.
Now, I have came across some libraries which works only on Linux. I have set up Ubuntu 16.4 64bit VPS on Digital Ocean, installed Python 3.5. In PyCharm I have set up SFTP connection to remote host. Code running works, debugging works, however, I am not able to bring display output (matplotlib plots,...) to local (Win10) machine. As I am not at all familiar with Linux GUI environments (X11?), after googling I have following questions:
1) Should anything be installed on remote Linux machine? (e.g. x11 client/server/smth?)
2) Should anything be installed on local Win machine? (e.g. Xming?)
3) Should anything be configured on remote Linx machine? (e.g. X11 forwarding)
4) Should anything be configured on local Win machine PyCharm?
5) There are X11 forwarding settings in Putty and some have suggested to use those but I am not sure, should Putty session run in paraller with PyCharm and can that be avoided.
Thanks a lot!
PS - I have installed Jupyter Notebook (and latest Jupyter Lab) on remote machine and it works excellent, however I am still prefering PyCharm as primary IDE with better code completion, debugger and other perks.
