Includes the extra graphs and timers modules

macOS prerequisites

Install and configure XQuartz

# Install XQuartz
brew cask install xquartz

# Configure
open -a XQuartz
# ... and go to Preferences -> Security -> Tick "Allow connections from network clients"

export IP=$(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk '$1=="inet" {print $2}')
