[GRASS-dev] [GRASS-user] Grass on MacOS (Ken Mankoff)

Wed Jan 17 15:13:16 PST 2018

Fantastic!

After installing it, it kinda froze the first time I opened it, but the
second time there was no issues.

NVIZ works!

I tried to run some python scripts and in the first time I got an error
message, complaining about matplotlib, but luckily the error message said
to use 'pythonw' instead of 'python' and with that, all the libraries were
imported (matplotlib, seaborn etc).

I noticed that there is no command line history in python.

Will keep testing

Carlos
