ui4j library can not run on ubuntu VM with out a browser

I created a scraping program in java using the ui4j library, but it turns out that I have to run it on a VM where a browser is not present.

Is there a way around it? Do I have to install a browser?

if yes do I need a proper one or a text based browser can do? (I don't think so, but i am asking just in case.)

Thanks, Ilias

EDIT:

This is the error i am getting from the VM. From the line saying Unable to open DISPLAY, i assumed there was a problem with the browser. What might b the problem then?

It turns out that i had to enable the Headless Mode of the ui4j as mentioned on the readme file.
