Hi,
The **denodo_platform.sh** script file is used to launch the [Denodo Platform Control Center](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/en/platform/installation/denodo_platform_control_center/denodo_platform_control_center), which is a tool that allows users to start and stop the Denodo Platform servers via a graphical interface. As such, it is required that the machine you are launching this machine from has GUI capability.
In your case, since you have installed the Denodo Platform on a machine without GUI capability, I would suggest that you start or stop the Denodo Platform servers and services via the available scripts located at <DENODO_HOME>\bin directory. For example, if you would like to [start the Virtual DataPort server](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/en/vdp/administration/starting_virtual_dataport/starting_the_virtual_dataport_server/starting_the_virtual_dataport_server#starting-the-virtual-dataport-server), you can execute the script <DENODO_HOME>/bin/vqlserver_startup.sh.
Additionally, you can install the [Virtual DataPort Administration Tool](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/en/vdp/administration/starting_virtual_dataport/launching_the_administration_tool/launching_the_administration_tool) separately in a machine that has GUI capability, and then connect remotely to the Virtual DataPort server. To get the installer, you can go to the [Support site](https://support.denodo.com/), and login with your support user. Go to **Downloads > Installers** page and download the denodo-install-vdp-client-8.0 installer from the list.
Hope this helps!
