<p><span lang="EN-GB">Sure! Since the names are different, no problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">> I know both can co-exist when I compile from source, but a binary package might come in handy in some cases…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">I commonly have several versions installed and running.<br>
Limitation: it is possible with self compiled GRASS GIS. Any package manager would substitute...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">> GRASS website [1] says GRASS 7 can be installed in parallel to GRASS 6. Does that mean that e.g. 7.4 in parallel to 7.2 is not possible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">It is possible if you compile yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
