Per la compilazione del codice sorgente di GRASS GIS vedere Compile and Install

Questa pagina spiega l'installazione dei binari di GRASS.

GRASS GIS richiede una stazione di lavoro con un sistema che esegue alcune funzioni di UNIX conformi agli standard POSIX come Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, IRIX o BSD, oppure MS-Windows. È inoltre possibile eseguire GRASS in MS Windows utilizzando un programma di traduzione da UNIX come Cygwin o in modo nativo con MingGW. Teoricamente, si dovrebbero avere almeno 500 Mb per i dati e 512 Mb di RAM. Il pacchetto del codice sorgente richiede circa 270 MB una volta scompattato. I binari risultanti possono aver bisogno da 20 MB a 180 MB a seconda dellal piattaforma. Nel corso dell'intera compilazione possono servire temporaneamente oltre 150 MB incluso il codice sorgente.

La sezione Download della pagina principale del sito di GRASS contiene gli ultimi binari e il codice sorgente per tutte le piattaforme supportate. Il sito contiene inoltre indirizzi generali per l'installazione manuale di GRASS. Tuttavia, l'installazione è leggermente diversa su ogni sistema operativo. Qui si possono trovare indicazioni fornite dagli utenti per l'installazione di GRASS su piattaforme specifiche. In particolare, molti sistemi operativi hanno programmi di utilità per la gestione dei pacchetti che possono semplificare notevolmente l'installazione di GRASS.

GRASS GIS requires a workstation running either some flavor of UNIX conforming to POSIX standards like Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, IRIX, or BSD or MS-Windows. It is also possible to run GRASS in MS Windows by using UNIX translation software such as Cygwin or natively with MingGW. Ideally, you should have at least 500 Mb for data and 512 Mb RAM. The source code package needs around 270 MB uncompressed. The resulting binaries may need between 20 MB and 180 MB depending on your platform. During a full compilation you may need temporarily up to 150MB including the source code.

The Software Download Section of the main GRASS web site contains the latest binaries and source code for all supported platforms. That site also has general directions for installing GRASS manually. However, installation is slightly different on each operating system. Here you can find user-contributed pointers for installing GRASS on specific platforms. In particular, many operating systems have package management utilities that can greatly simplify GRASS installation.

MS-Windows

• Native winGRASS packages with Installer are provided here (no Cygwin needed). See also WinGRASS Current Status.

• winGRASS/Cygwin packages are provided here (requires Cygwin UNIX emulator, see there).

• QGIS including native winGRASS packages are provided here (no Cygwin needed).

• Install using OSGeo4W installer (GRASS needs to be selected from the "Advanced" section)

GNU/Linux

Debian

A binary version of GRASS is available from the apt repository. As root type:

 apt-get install grass grass-doc

This is the easiest way to install GRASS on Debian. If you choose to install a binary version manually from the main web site, be sure to follow the instructions for making symlinks found as a note to the [6.4 weekly snapshot] release.

DebianGis

There is also the wonderful DebianGIS project which has a more recent GRASS version with its related packages. Read here for more details

Compiling GRASS from source

• See Compile and Install of Source Code

Installation on Fedora

Fedoraproject provides RPM-packages for stable releases prepared to install on Fedora systems:

 yum install grass

Mandriva

• Mandriva provides PROJ/GDAL/GRASS RPMs. Newer versions they are in the "backports" section:

 urpmi grass

openSUSE

• openSUSE provides GRASS and related RPM-packages.

GRASS 6: To install GRASS 6 release on openSUSE:

From terminal:

sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_12.3/ GEO
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install grass

Alternatively, one can use the One-Click installer: http://software.opensuse.org/package/grass

GRASS 7: To install the latest GRASS 7 SVN snapshot:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install grass7

Alternatively, one can use the One-Click installer: http://software.opensuse.org/package/grass7

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS and Scientific Linux)

• Enterprise Linux offers GRASS and related binaries

 yum install grass

Ubuntu

GRASS Binaries are available from apt/synaptic. From a terminal type:

 sudo apt-get install grass grass-doc

or alternatively, search for and install these packages from Synaptic. This is the easy way to get GRASS on your system. Even if you choose to install binaries from another source, you may want to install this version just so that all (most) dependencies are installed as painlessly as possible.

To get the latest version of GRASS on Ubuntu, compile the code from source. See the Compile and Install section for a shell script that makes this easy.

Slackware

Slackware 12 packages for GRASS binary distributions and additional libraries are available from The Italian Slackware Community (release version) and here (SVN version).

Mac OS X

Precompiled GRASS 6 and GRASS 7 packages for Mac OS X can be found [grass.osgeo.org/download/software/mac-osx/ here]
