My name is Chad, and I’m completely new to Grass. I’m not sure if this is the forum to ask beginner’s questions, but I’ll give it a go.
I’m having trouble downloading Grass 6.4.2 on my home computer. I’ve downloaded it on all of our work computers without any problems (including Windows Vista, XP), but it’s not working on my home computer.
When I double click on the desktop icon, or try to open it directly from program files, a window flashes up for a split second and disappears.
When I go to ‘Grass 6.4.2 Command Line’ I get the following:
‘g.dirseps’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
‘C:\GRASS\etc\winlocale’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
‘g.gisenv’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
‘C:\GRASS\etc\set_data’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
‘C:\GRASS\etc\echo’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Hello Chad,
I assume You are trying to run it on MS Windows.
Please check following - does Your home folder path contains any
non-latin letters? If yes, try to create a new Windows user i.e.
"grass" and run GRASS from there.
Also worth to check if Your antivirus program / malware defence system
doesn't block GRASS installation (disable antivirus and any Defence+
type system and reinstall GRASS). I have had various strange issues
caused by Comodo AV when installing GRASS or QGIS. Best way - disable
for a moment Comodo AV and Defence+, run install as Administrator,
enable AV back.
Report more information if none of this helps.
Maris.
