== GRASS 7.2 ==
== GRASS GIS 7.8 and later ==


If you have a 3rd party Python installed, and/or Python 3, you need to remove it from your path for the installation. Once installed, GRASS will run even if the primary Python is, for example, Anaconda Python 3.
There is an [https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac osgeo4mac] which contains [https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac/blob/master/Formula/osgeo-grass.rb recipes for GRASS GIS 7.x] and other GIS tools - highly recommendable tap!


Display the current path, and remove any folders or directories that provide access to the non-system python2.7:
    echo $PATH
    #  ~/local/anaconda/bin:/Users/MyName/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/sbin
Reset path
    PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/sbin
Set GRASS python
    export GRASS_PYTHON=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pythonw


Install packages with Brew
'''Preparation:'''
    brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac
    brew install netcdf
    brew install gdal2 --with-complete --with-unsupported
    export GDAL_DATA=/usr/local/opt/gdal2/share/gdal/ 
    # Also add the above line to ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, or some other login script
    brew install grass-70 --with-netcdf
    brew install gdal2-grass7


Notes:
To later get the GUI working, run
# PATH adjustments are only needed during installation. After installation, the PATH can return to its default value and GRASS works fine.
# There may be other brew dependencies that were installed previously and therefore not listed here.


      pip3 install wxpython


== How to install GRASS GIS 7.1 SVN Head ==
'''Installation:'''
I assume that homebrew is installed and working.


Different recipes are organized in so called taps which need to be added to homebrew by using '''''brew tap''''' command. The GRASS GIS 7.1 recipes are in the following github repo:
Just run


https://github.com/rkrug/homebrew-head-only
      brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac


In addition, GRASS GIS has dependencies which can be found in the homebrew/science tap.
and then


To add these two to homebrew, one has to use the commands
      brew install osgeo-grass


      brew tap rkrug/head-only 
Easy, isn't it?
      brew tap homebrew/science
      brew update


If you want to use the option '''--with-liblas''' make sure that '''liblas''' is build using the correct installed version of gdal by running
You can also install via URL:


       brew install liblas
       brew install https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac/blob/master/Formula/osgeo-grass.rb
      brew install --build-from-source liblas


The first comand installs from bottles (binary) when available, and the second command reinstalls '''liblas''' by building it from source, therby using installed dependencies.
'''Testing:'''
* by running (change '7x' to the current version, e.g. 78)
      brew test -v grass-78
you can run GRASS GIS tests but they are not implemented as they should be - work in progress.


Otherwise you might get the following error when using the option '''--with-liblas''':
'''Starting it:'''


       checking whether to use libLAS... yes
       grass78 --gui
      checking for liblas-config... /usr/local/opt/liblas/bin/liblas-config
      configure: error: *** Unable to locate libLAS library.


Thanks to Glynn Clements for identifying this error (see [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/65254 the mail on gmane]).
== GRASS GIS 7.2 LTS ==


Finally, GRASS 7.1 SVN can be installed by
OSGEO4mac has also a formalar to install the GRASS GIS 7 LTS.


      brew install --HEAD grass-71
Follow the procedure as described in section '''GRASS GIS 7.6+''' but use


This should be it.
    brew install grass7-lts
 
If this does not work, please leave comments at [https://github.com/rkrug/homebrew-head-only/issues the issues page of the tap] or at the grass-dev mailing list.

What is homebrew and why use it

To quote from their website:

Homebrew is the missing package manager for OS X:

  • easy to install
  • does not need administrator privileges
  • installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local

For further information to install it and how to use it, see the Homebrew website and the Wiki.

The formulas to install programs are called recipes and they make it possible to install several version of the same program (as well as HEAD of different Version Control Systems) at the same time which can then be symlinked. This makes it perfect for the purpose of installing the master branch of GRASS GIS for testing purposes.

GRASS GIS 7.8 and later

There is an osgeo4mac which contains recipes for GRASS GIS 7.x and other GIS tools - highly recommendable tap!


Preparation:

To later get the GUI working, run

     pip3 install wxpython

Installation:

Just run

     brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac

and then

     brew install osgeo-grass

Easy, isn't it?

You can also install via URL:

     brew install https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac/blob/master/Formula/osgeo-grass.rb

Testing:

  • by running (change '7x' to the current version, e.g. 78)
     brew test -v grass-78

you can run GRASS GIS tests but they are not implemented as they should be - work in progress.

Starting it:

     grass78 --gui

GRASS GIS 7.2 LTS

OSGEO4mac has also a formalar to install the GRASS GIS 7 LTS.

Follow the procedure as described in section GRASS GIS 7.6+ but use

   brew install grass7-lts

GRASS GIS 7.0.x for El Capitan without disabling SIP

The new homebrew recipe for GRASS 7.0 does install on El Capitan with SIP enabled! This is thanks to Larry Shaffer. See https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac/issues/118#issuecomment-200278686

The recipe is part of the Homebrew-osgeo4mac tap, see

https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac

for info on how to use them.
