GRASS GIS crash course

This repository was created for a GRASS GIS crash course that will take place at ITC on November 3rd, 2017. The workshop is organized by OSGeo Netherlands and ITC - Faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation from the University of Twente, Enschede. See the announcement at: https://osgeo.nl/grassgis-course/.

Software

We use GRASS GIS 7.2.2 (current stable version). It can be installed either through standalone installers/binaries or through OSGeo-Live (which includes all OSGeo software and packages).

Standalone installers for different OS:

MS Windows

There are two different options:

1. Standalone installer: 32-bit version | 64-bit version
2. OSGeo4W package (network installer for advanced users): 32-bit version | 64-bit version

Mac OS

Install GRASS GIS 7.2 using homebrew osgeo4mac:

brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac
brew install grass7

Ubuntu Linux

Install GRASS GIS from packages:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass

For other Linux distros, please find GRASS GIS in their package managers.

OSGeo-live:

OSGeo-live is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. There are different options to run OSGeo-live:

• Run OSGeo-live in a Virtual Machine
• Run OSGeo-live from a bootable USB flash drive

For a quick-start guide, see: https://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/osgeolive_quickstart.html
