Installing CrossWorks on Linux systems running the Wayland display server

Problem

When running the installer on Linux systems running the Wayland display server, root needs permission to access the display server. If root does not have permission, you will get the following error when running the installer:

No protocol specified
error: cannot open display

Solution

To resolve this, run the following command from a terminal before running the installer:

xhost +SI:localuser:root

NOTE: When running this command you should be logged in as the user with permission to access the display server rather than root.
