I am trying to get some code working on MacOS. The code uses the Mayavi visualization library, and is supposed to run on headless servers to produce visualizations.
brew install gdal
brew install xdpyinfo
brew install --cask xquartz
And then I install the desired library:
python3 -m pip install PyVirtualDisplay
But this does not seem to work on the Github Action remote:
display = Display(visible=0, size=(1280, 1024))
