[GRASS-user] GRASS 7.0 svn location/map creation using console

Enrico_Gallo1 · July 29, 2009, 7:25pm

Hi list,

I am running remotely GRASS 7.0 from svn on a workstation using ssh.

As classical location/mapset prompt is not displayed in 7.0,
how can I create new locations/mapset using console?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Enrico Gallo

Start GRASS "somehow" and run

g.mapset -c mapset=new

hi Jachym , hi list

AFAIK, g.mapset -c is OK for new mapset in existing location, but
what about new location?

We have to use ssh -X and gui?

Sorry, I forgot the "-c" flag, so:
g.proj -c location=...

I am sorry, but the problem how we create first location only using
console is still opened, IMHO

Consider GRASS 5.x & 6.x displayed a prompt, and 7.x no more ..

I can use g.proj and g.mapset only inside GRASS environment,
but if I have non correct location I cannot enter in GRASS 7.x from
console, using -text flag, of course

thanks in advance

Without the GUI, you currently have to create a new location manually,
e.g.:

olddbase=`g.gisenv get=GISDBASE`
g.gisenv set=GISDBASE=/path/to/database
g.proj -c location=newlocation ...
g.gisenv set=GISDBASE=$olddbase
g.mapset -c gisdbase=/path/to/database location=newlocation mapset=newmapset
g.mapset gisdbase=/path/to/database location=newlocation mapset=newmapset
g.region -d

Note that GRASS 7 includes a dummy location at $GISDBASE/demolocation;
this can be used to get into GRASS, provided that you're the owner of
the GRASS installation (probably root).

For developers:

1. init.{sh,py} need an option to create a new database/location/mapset
without using the GUI.

2. g.proj should have a database= option so that -c can create a new
database along with the location.

3. g.mapset complains if the current database/location/mapset aren't
valid; it should probably be changed to use G_no_gisinit() to handle
this.
