+<h2>5. Text-based startup and location creation</h2>
+
+GRASS GIS can be run entirely without using the graphical user interface. For a first time startup, the following steps have to be followed:
+
+<ol>
+	<li> Create a GRASS database as explained above.</li>
+	<li>Create a new location, including it's default PERMANENT mapset, without entering the new location:</li>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Using an EPSG code: <tt>grass70 -e -c EPSG:32630 /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation</tt></li>
+			<li>Using a georeferenced file: <tt>grass70 -e -c MyGeoReferenceFile.tif /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation</tt></li>
+		</ul>
+		<li>Create new mapset within the new location and launch GRASS GIS within that mapset: <br><tt>grass70 -c /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation/mymapset </tt>
+</ol>
