What's next after installation?
First time users should explore the 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:
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
Suggested directory structures:
/data/ # as a shared directory for team projects with sysop managed group permissions
# this shared directory may stay on a network server
/data/grassdata # GRASS GIS database
/data/grassdata/spearfish60 # a shared spearfish Location (a Location corresponds to a project)
/data/grassdata/spearfish60/maria # a team member's mapset
/data/grassdata/spearfish60/david # another member's mapset
Important: do NOT enable group-write access on the location/mapset directories. Let GRASS GIS manage it properly.
GRASS can be invoked with:
grass64 --help # print options grass64 # start with defaults from .grassrc6 grass64 /data/grassdata/spearfish/david # a specific mapset
