You should check if X11 is installed on your system.
To find out what you need to install to get xhost use something like this:
It's probably something like xorg-x11-server-utils
Also check with "yum grouplist" to see if you can install the X11 environment as a whole.

You can install it with "yum install xorg-x11-server-utils"
If you want to install it via groupinstall (this will install much more though, so I don't know what you want to achieve, is it a server or desktop?) you can do something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System" "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "General Purpose Desktop""
WARNING this installs a complete desktop environment
You can slim it down with only doing something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System""

Try this:
Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"
After that try your command again

Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"

#hostname
sleung.local
#export DISPLAY=sleung.local:0.0
#xhost
xhost unable to open display "sleung.local:0.0"

#export DISPLAY=sleung.local:0.0
#xhost

Do the export again, like this:
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
export DISPLAY="your_ip:0.0"
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
Can you check the logs to see if we get a hint of what it is that is missing or wrong?
