FastQC Ubuntu download problem

I'm trying to run FastQC but I get this error message instead

Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it. at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:204) at java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:536) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:420) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:385) at javax.swing.JFrame.<init>(JFrame.java:189) at uk.ac.babraham.FastQC.FastQCApplication.<init>(FastQCApplication.java:63) at uk.ac.babraham.FastQC.FastQCApplication.main(FastQCApplication.java:338)

I tried creating the path to troubleshoot but the same message shows. I even checked to make sure java is installed which it already was. I'm out of ideas where it could have gone wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
