   SDL Video Initialization Failed

   Hello all,   
      
   After installing SyncTerm on an AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux 2, which   
   is based on RHEL, I get this message:   
      
   SDL Video Initialization Failed   
      
   The installation succeeded and I believe I have the correct dependencies:   
      
   $ sudo yum install gcc   
   $ sudo yum install patch   
   $ sudo yum install ncurses-devel   
   $ sudo yum install SDL2-devel   
      
   Do I also need to install a video card driver or something? I do not know a   
   ton about this but I get the feeling that my EC2 instance - Amazon's version   
   of a ephemeral virtual machine - lacks some component or driver associated   
   with SDL2..?   
      
   Thanks for your help!
