+<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 GIS 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:<br>
+         <tt>grass70 -e -c EPSG:32630 /home/user/grassdata/mylocation</tt></li>
+    <li>Using a georeferenced raster or vector file:<br>
+         <tt>grass70 -e -c MyGeoReferenceFile.tif /home/user/grassdata/mylocation</tt></li>
+</ul>
+<li> Create new mapset within the new location and launch GRASS GIS within
