Appendix B
Installing Software
In this appendix, you will find brief information on installing most of the
applications we have discussed. As always, it helps to read the installa-
tion instructions provided with the software. The following information
is of the quick-start variety and will help you get up and running.
We provide information for each platform, assuming of course that the
application is supported on each.
B.1
GRASS
The good news is you can get a binary distribution for most major plat-
forms. And if you can't, GRASS builds quite readily on most platforms.
In this section, we'll look at the options for each of the major platforms
so you can get up and running quickly. All binary and source packages
are available from the GRASS website.

tar.gz
pack-
age. Typically, you will find binaries for the following distributions:
