[GRASS-user] standalone grass installer version 7.6

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hi,

I have an application I developed a few years ago that still uses python 2.7 and has a wxPython GUI, that I used to use until GRASS 7.6. Later on it got outdated and, even though a colleague and I are updating it, it still does not run in GRASS 7.8 or 8.

In the meanwhile, is it still possible to download and install GRASS 7.6 for using it? Is the standalone installer for Windows available somewhere? Or I would have to build it from the source?

Hi Bernado,

Seems the download directory of older Windows Standalone installers is empty indeed:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass76/binary/mswindows/native/x86_64/

For Wndows you can get older packages with osgeo4w version 1:

http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v1/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64-v1.exe

There (OSGeo4W V1) are many older GRASS packages available:

http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v1/x86_64/release/grass/grass/

Here are older generic Linux binaries:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass74/binary/linux/snapshot/

Cheers

Stefan

Searching online for "WinGRASS-7.6.1-1-Setup-x86_64.exe" I found it
here (if trustable, you need to decide):

https://softfamous.com/grass-gis/download/
-> download

Due to lack of space on the server, the very old binaries have not
been preserved. Also, to not overwhelm our mirror sites.

Otherwise, I'd also recommend what Stefan suggests:

There also standalones of QGIS that contain GRASS from OSGeo4W:

https://download.qgis.org/downloads/

Just the grass version inside is hard to see. grass-versions.txt has a list.
