I'm on Debian Jessie (stable), have not used GIS software before and
want to learn GRASS so it makes sense to me to start with GRASS7
rather than 6.4 (which is available in Debian).
I tried without success the instructions to install GRASS7 from
experimental here:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental
I added this to sources.list:
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib
Then:
apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install grass-core grass-gui
First it failed, so I installed grass from stable and now I can run this:
$ grass --version
GRASS GIS 6.4.4
cat: /usr/lib/grass64/etc/license: No such file or directory
So firstly, can someone tell me what that last line of output is (it
looks very odd to coming out of a Debian package)?
Now when I try:
apt-get -t experimental install grass-core grass-gui
I get the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
grass-core is already the newest version.
grass-gui is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
Can anyone help here - I'd really like to start on GRASS7, if possible
(on Debian stable - would that normally be a "backport" or an
"update"?).
Thanks heaps,
Zenaan
Hi,
I’m not really experienced in that but since there is no other answer, I’ll try to answer anyway

IMO the most important advantage of LaTeX over Word is missing here. You might have forgotten it in your academic career but it’s what matters the most to me. LaTeX makes you invest the time to get the layout right upfront. Word forces you to fix the layout in your last step.

I suggest uninstalling all grass packages and starting over.

From 6 to 7 is update. I don’t think that that current Debian version will switch from 6 to 7 if this is what you are asking.
If installation from packages does not work, you can always compile it. It should be relatively simple:
