 If you have no existing GRASS DATABASE, yet, on the machine, I would
 recommend starting by creating one:

 mkdir GRASSDATA

 Then, if you have no existing GRASS GIS data, you have to create a
 location and mapset first. Locations are defined by their projection
 system. Two options exist to define this projection: either you use an
 existing georeferenced file, or you use an EPSG code (see grass70 --help
 for details).

 grass70 -c EPSG:32630 /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation

 will create the location 'mylocation' (using WGS 84 / UTM zone 30N
 projection) and the mapset PERMANENT.

 If you want to enter the same location, but in a newly created mapset:

 grass70 -c /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation/mymapset

 If you want to create a new location (which always needs a PERMANENT
 mapset) and immediately enter another newly created mapset, you can
 combine these two steps

 grass70 -e -c EPSG:32630 /home/mlennert/gg/mylocation
 grass70 -c /home/myuser/GRASSDATA/mylocation/mymapset

 The '-e' flag tells GRASS to just create the new location (with its
 PERMANENT mapset), and then exit. The second call then creates and enters
 the new mapset mymapset.
