Installation with an X Server

Question

When I run the Confluence or JIRA installer I get a message that

This application needs access to an X Server.

$ ./atlassian-confluence-5.6.6-x32.bin -c -q -varfile response.varfile 
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Sep 04, 2015 1:25:54 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$2 run
INFO: Created system preferences directory in java.home.
Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.
*******************************************************************
You can also run this application in console mode without
access to an X server by passing the argument -c
