[GRASS5] how to install grass57

[Martin Wegmann]

Hello Didit, 

I don't know which operating system you are working on, but as far as I am 
aware of you can install GRASS 5.7 beside 5.0.x or 5.3.0 on any OS. Just 
point your 5.7.0 version to the database previously set up by 5.0.0 and you 
can straight away use your "old" data .

To install 5.7 have a look at the bottom of the download page (separated by 
OS, Linux, MacOS, MS Windows) there you find detailed explanations. 

If you are new to GRASS perhaps you would be better up to use 5.3.0 or wait 
some time until it is declared stable (5.4.0). 
5.7.0 is classified as development and might lack some features you depend on 
or might show up with some weird errors/bugs. 

regards Martin 

P.S.: I think this type of questions is better posted on the GRASS user 
mailing list, rather than the developer mailing list.
