The mac OS does not come with an X11 windowing environment out of the box. For more info, see:
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201341
Two ways to install it are:
https://www.xquartz.org
Offers a standalone, standard Mac .dmg installer. However, other than building your own, there is not a lot of X11 apps to run _in_ that environment. So…
https://www.macports.org/install.php
Jumps through some hoops to install XCode and MacPorts, then run
sudo port install xorg-server
This installs the same code as the standalone .dmg installer. But, then you may be able to find some of your favourite X11-based packages to install:
https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=x11
MacPorts provides several thousand other open source packages; not just X11 stuff.
