[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS 8.0.0 Stand Alone

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hello GRASS User,

I just installed the latest GRASS GIS Stand Alone version (8.0.0). When
I tried installing some addons I always received an error message:

ERROR: Cannot open URL:
http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass80/addons/grass-8.0.0dev/v.centerpoint.zip

I checked the web site and could the that there only exist 2 versions:

- /grass80/addons/grass-8.0.dev

- /grass80/addons/grass-8.0.0

How I can change the web address GRASS GIS is calling to the ones which
are providing the addons?

Thank you very much for a suggestion.

Regards

Martin

Hello GRASS User,

here comes an update concerning the installation of GRASS GIS addons:

In the meantime I could change the addon-download link provided by
GRASS. Using some of the 'recipes' I found in the internet I manipulated
the g.extension.py file in line 1442 by adding " patch='dev' " and
deactivating " patch=version[2] ". As a result, GRASS GIS is now calling
'/grass80/addons/grass-8.0.dev' for the download of addons. It´s not a
very professional solution because each time when the addon's web site
changing its address (what happens as far as I know with each GRASS
update) I have to made the respective adjustment in g.extension.py. But
for know it is working.

But...! The addon installation is obviously working only for addons
which are based on python scripts (e.g., v.centerline.py). Addons which
come with an exe-file are being installed with error messages and don´t
work:

g.extension extension=v.centerpoint operation=add
Downloading precompiled GRASS Addons <v.centerpoint>...
Fetching <v.centerpoint> from
<http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass80/addons/grass-8.0.dev/v.centerpoint.zip&gt;
(be patient)...

Updating extension modules metadata file...
WARNING: No metadata available for module 'v.centerpoint': Unable to

find '__main__' module in
'C:\\Users\\Martin\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\grass8-Martin-25356\\tmpc6exzl8p\\v.centerpoint'
>
Installation of <v.centerpoint> successfully finished
(Mon Feb 7 16:49:42 2022) Command finished (19 sec)

So, what is the correct way for installing the GRASS GIS addons?

Hi Martin,

please create an issue:
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/new/choose

Indeed, looks like the URL on the server doesn’t match the url g.extension expects. Note that you are using a daily build, you may want to consider using released GRASS 8.0.0.

Hello Anna,

thanks a lot for your fast reply.

I got the GRASS GIS stand alone installer from " https://grass.osgeo.org/download/windows/#standalone-installers ". The provided file there is " https://grass.osgeo.org/grass80/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-8.0.0-1-Setup.exe " which installs " GRASS GIS 8.0.0dev (04e3de8fa)". I did not see any installation file for " GRASS GIS 8.0.0 ". From where I can get tat one?

Regards

Martin

you are using the correct installer (for 8.0.0). Problem is on the build server. I am currently preparing a new installer.
