Hi Everyone,
I am a beginner user of GRASS (I normally use ArcGIS) running on Mac
OS X Grass 6.4 ORC5.
I am trying to process MODIS chlor-a images according to the MODIS
Wiki page. There are many scripts on the wiki page that I would
like to use; however, I do not know how to:
1) save the script file, i.e. what file extension to I use?
use whatever filename the script has (or is specified). No extension
needed, but 'sh' is the standard shell script extension. But it does
need to be executable, which won't be true if you download the raw
script text or copy-n-paste. It should be set if the script is
compressed.
In a Terminal, type this (drag-n-drop the script from a Finder window
to the Terminal to paste the path to the script):
chmod +x /path/to/script
2) where to store the script, i.e. Do I store it in the mapset
location?
You can put it whereever you like, but in the GISBASE is probably not
a good idea. There is a GRASS environment setting to specify custom
paths where to find GRASS addon executables: GRASS_ADDON_PATH.
Even easier, on OSX (for the application build), put it in:
~/Library/GRASS/6.4/Modules/bin
This is automatically added to GRASS_ADDON_PATH on startup. It will
be created the first time you run GRASS.
3) how to call the script, i.e. within the terminal shell (bash).
type the name of the script.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew
