It should not install into the system area. Please type at the GRASS terminal window command prompt: # this only works if your GRASS 7 is recent: echo $GRASS_ADDON_BASE to see how it is defined. I have for example GRASS 7.0.svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > echo $GRASS_ADDON_BASE /home/neteler/.grass7/addons In case it should be defined likewise at your end: export GRASS_ADDON_BASE=$HOME/.grass7/addons Perhaps these emails can be helpful (although for GRASS 6): http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2013-February/067077.html http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2013-February/067142.html Markus _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
