[GRASS-dev] Important hint for running the new Mac GRASS binaries

If you are trying the new fully bundled GRASS binaries for Mac, here is an important thing to know.

You MUST install and run these binaries from the /Applications folder. They cannot be in another folder or a subfolder of /Applications. This is an issue with the way conda (Anaconda) builds the GRASS environment.

I didn’t have that severe of a meltdown, but can confirm that the vector digitizer is very unstable. Sometimes I got it to make a new map or edit an existing one, but other times this caused the GUI to crash. When it did work, I was unable to close out the vector digitizer and have the menubar deleted. This, in turn made it impossible to quit the GUI by normal means.

I wonder if there is a recommendation for .bash_profile export options?

I created a new ticket on this. Thanks for testing. If any other errors crop up, please report them.
