Linux Environment Setup for GRASS

From IOSN-InWent FOSS GIS & Sahana Training

Training convention:

• Let's create /home/username/grassdata for our GRASS working directory

$> mkdir /home/username/grassdata

• This directory will also become the database for GRASS

Sometime there's some problem with xterm environment in GRASS. So let's modified the xterm configuration for GRASS first:

$> sudo gedit /usr/lib/grass/etc/grass-xterm-wrapper

Change the "GRASS_XTERM=x-terminal-emulator" to "GRASS_XTERM=xterm"
