open -a /path/to/app-name.app


However, it is going to start the app and display on the Mac.


VNC over an ssh tunnel would be better


ssh -L 12345:localhost:5900 username@mac.system


On the Linux system

vncviewer localhost:12345


or whatever VNC client you are using on Linux.


If your local system is another Mac, try macOS Screen Sharing, or the same ssh command, and then

Finder -> Go (menu) -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:12345
