But when I start the program in terminal it said

I tried to the error message on google, but I cannot find, how to solve
this problem on high sierra.
Thank you in advance for your help and advise.
this means that your application is trying to open an X11 display but
you have no X11 running.
I see two options:
-> install X11 server (unluckily, at some point Apple stopped supplying
one, so MacPorts has one)
-> see if your specific Application has a "native" variant, which in
MacPorts is usually enabled with the +quartz variant
E.g. gimp has both versions, but defaults to X11.
