If you have grassdata directory in your home directory or in Documents,
GRASS GIS should automatically pick it up and the startup screen should
show it when starting for the first time. Does this work for you? If it
does and it is not sufficient, what is the behavior you are looking for?

If there is more than one location or more than one mapset to choose from,
you can add or modify the file called rc in the .grass7 directory. It is
little harder to set up, but would that help you? (See the contents below.)
This does not start in the specified mapset, it only selects it in the
startup screen. How does it compare to what is your desired state?

LOCATION_NAME: nc_spm_08
GISDBASE: /home/.../grassdata
MAPSET: PERMANENT

Can you access other OSGeo Trac pages? Try e.g. the following. What is the
page or message you see?

https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo

Best,
