Hi to all,

I think I can install GRASS already. At the end, I receive a note like:

  │ Operating System Distributor License for Java v1.1 (DLJ) ↑
  │ ▮
  │ Operating System Distributor License for Java version 1.1 (DLJ) ▒

However, I have no idea where it is installed and how to launch GRASS?! Could you please send any help?

Best regards,

Hi!

I don't think(=know if) that the "Java" message has anything to do with
GRASS.

(a) You can launch grass from a terminal by typing:
gass -gui

(b) Or you want to add a new menu item (Ubuntu specific: System >
Preferences > Main Menu > New Item -- then enter "grass -gui" withouth
the qiuotes in the "command" field, give some a name for your new
"launcher" and a description if you like. *** Decide under which Menu
you want/will place the "grass" launcher ***).

You might (...probably) want to read the following thread(s):

Hi to all,

Thanks Nikos!

I have just practised your guidance (i.e. > (a) You can launch grass from a terminal by typing: grass -gui)

After doing it, the following error appear:

dtat@dtat-desktop:~$ grass -gui
The program 'grass' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install grass
bash: grass: command not found

I wonder why because I did run the command

sudo apt-get install grass

And it looks like I was doing successful.

Could you please give me further help.

Best regards,

Tri Van

Hi!

(Assuming you work with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04)

I would remove everything related with grass and re-install again (using
Jachym's repository [1]). Open a terminal and...

1. execute the following command:

sudo apt-get purge grass

2. According to [1] edit the sources.list file which is under /etc/apt:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Add the 2 lines in the end of the file for example (although you can
add them anywhere else) as procided in [1]:

deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu hardy multiverse
deb-src http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu hardy multiverse

4. Save and close the sources.list file

5. Get Jachym's gpg signature

wget -q http://les-ejk.cz/pgp/jachym_cepicky-gpg.pub -O - | sudo apt-key
add -

6. Update and Upgrade

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

7. install grass with:

sudo apt-get install grass

8. Launch grass with:

grass -gui

Good Luck, Nikos
