<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>QGIS's Processing plugin does support GRASS 7.0 beta, alongside of 6.4.3. The GRASS-specific plugin only works with 6.4.3. On Mac, via Homebrew package manager, I have these installed side-by-side, but 7.0 is installed to a custom prefix, with only the grass70 executable on PATH. That prefix directory can be set in QGIS for the Processing GRASS 7.0 provider via the options dialog.<br>
<br></div>Could not GRASS 7.0 beta also be installed on OSGeoLive, but to a custom prefix, since such a prefix is easily handled with GRASS environment variables and QGIS settings? The Processing plugin provider for GRASS 7.0 will be part of the released QGIS 2.4.<br>

No it's unlikely that QGIS will be ready to work with GRASS 7 that<br>
quickly. There are major changes to GRASS that require overhauls of QGIS<br>
connectors, and how to implement GRASS 7 support is quite debated on the<br>
qgis-dev list.<br>
<br>
While stable, GRASS 7 is actually in beta status not release.<br>
<br>
My recommendation is that we add a script for GRASS 7 but do not enable<br>
it by default. For the workshop the best idea is to plan to use the<br>
osgeo-live base install and simply add the GRASS 7 install to it for<br>
that VM before cloning the VM to the machines.<br>
<br>
Can GRASS 6 and 7 from debs install side-by-side cleanly?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
