	* See the {{cmd\|grass6}} and {{cmd\|helptext}} help pages.		=== What's next after installation? ===
	* http://grass.osgeo.org/gdp/grass5tutor/HTML_en/c626.html contains advice on setting up a directory structure for GRASS projects.

	~~It advises~~:		First time users should explore the [http://grass.osgeo.org/documentation/first-time-users/ first steps tutorial] after installation.

			=== Individual users ===

			When using GRASS GIS as a single user on your PC, then the /grassdata/ directory may be best stored in your HOME directory.

			'''GRASS can be invoked with''':
			* See also the {{cmd\|grass6}} and {{cmd\|helptext}} help pages.
			<pre>
			grass64 --help # print options
			grass64 # start with graphical user interface, presetting the defaults from last session (stored in /home/user/.grassrc6 file)
			grass64 /home/user/grassdata/spearfish/david # a specific mapset
			</pre>

			=== Group users: shared network directory ===

			Suggested directory structures:
	<pre>		<pre>
	/data/ # as a shared directory for team projects with sysop managed group permissions		/data/ # as a shared directory for team projects with sysop managed group permissions
	# this shared directory may stay on a network server		# this shared directory may stay on a network server
	/data/grassdata # GRASS GIS database		/data/grassdata # GRASS GIS database
	/data/grassdata/spearfish60 # a shared spearfish Location (~~think~~ project)		/data/grassdata/spearfish60 # a shared spearfish Location (a Location corresponds to a project)
	/data/grassdata/spearfish60/maria # a team member's ~~working~~ mapset		/data/grassdata/spearfish60/maria # a team member's mapset
	/data/grassdata/spearfish60/david # another member's ~~working~~ mapset		/data/grassdata/spearfish60/david # another member's mapset
	</pre>		</pre>

	~~For individual use, such a structure is not necessary. One will need a database, and GRASS can create Location and Mapset directories. Your default database/~~location/mapset ~~may be stored in your~~ .~~grass6rc file~~.		Important: do NOT enable group-write access on the location/mapset directories. Let GRASS GIS manage it properly.

* See http://grass.itc.it/grass60/manuals/html60_user/grass6.html or http://grass.itc.it/grass60/manuals/html60_user/helptext.html

http://grass.itc.it/gdp/grass5tutor/HTML_en/c626.html contains advice on setting up a directory structure for GRASS projects. It advises:

<pre>
/data/ # as a shared directory for team projects with sysop managed group permissions
/data/grassdata # grass GIS database
/data/grassdata/spearfish # a shared spearfish Location
/data/grassdata/spearfish/maria # a team member's working mapset
/data/grassdata/spearfish/david # another member's working mapset
</pre>

For individual use, such a structure is not necessary. One will need a database, and GRASS can create Location and Mapset directories. Your default database/location/mapset may be stored in your .grass6rc file.

GRASS can be invoked with:
<pre>
grass --help # print options
grass # start with defaults from .grassrc6
grass /data/grassdata/spearfish/david # a specific mapset
</pre>
