[GRASS-user] Is ther a quick way to install grass8.3.2 in Ubuntu Jammy?

Hiu everybody, with some update I’ve broken my installation of QGIS 3.38 and GRASS 7,8,7

Now it seems that qgis-grass-plugin requires grass 8.3.2 but the pachage is not available in ubuntugis…

I’m not (yet) enaough confindent to use GRASS outside QGIS and I really need a quick solution to have this stack working.
I’m testing a workflow that translates sea-polyogns digitized with some reference coastine so they can match another refernce coastline: scripting and topological editing is mandatory so GRASS GIS will be the right tool.

Thank-you very much for your support.

Hi Amedeo

We just released 8.4, and it is here. Basically, you install the repo, update and install grass, something like:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass grass-gui grass-dev

Then, for the plugin, you can customize which grass version it uses: Plugins > GRASS > GRASS Options. Under General you can change the version used to whatever you have.

HTH, I’m not the most knowledgeable person about Ubuntu…

Thank-you Veronica for the reply,
Yes I’ve already update to 8.4 but aptitude refuse to install qgis-plugin-grass

her is the apt output:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qgis-plugin-grass : Depends: grass832 but it is not installable

I think it’s a problem on qgis side, or maybe the ubuntugis repository needs to be aligned…
I’ve asked here too just in case someone else has the same environment.

Well It will be a good choice to learn using GRASS GIS from CLI :slight_smile:

Hi Amadeo,

that version of QGis is not available from Ubuntu-GIS, therefore you should not expect packages provided by that PPA to link correctly with QGis. Either you install the QGis-GRASS bridge from the same source you installed QGis, or you install everything from Ubuntu-GIS. Anything else will inevitably to lead to a messy package set-up at some point.

Regards.

QGIS has packages based on ubuntugis (also latest not only ltr). But
https://www.qgis.org/resources/installation-guide/#note-4 applies.

and in addition, you can use the nice improved GRASS GIS GUI.
