Thanks for the help, but I am not quite clear on the part you say the script has to be an executable. I copied and pasted the script from the wiki page and stored it in ~/Library/GRASS/6.4/Modules/bin; called the script by typing it (called chlatransl) to the Terminal shell. It said "chlatranl not found". How do I compile the script to make it an executable. Right now it is stored in a text file.

So, the script is: ~/Library/GRASS/6.4/Modules/bin/chlatransl

Take that chmod command I mentioned and type in the Terminal:

chmod +x ~/Library/GRASS/6.4/Modules/bin/chlatransl

I apologize for being naive.

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
