You should be able to copy the binary installation between similar
machines. You need the installation directory (e.g. /usr/local/grass5),
plus the grass5 script (e.g. /usr/local/bin/grass5).

The simplest way is to create a tar file, e.g.:

	tar cf ~/grass.tar /usr/local/grass5 /usr/local/bin/grass5

then copy it to the destination machine and extract it, e.g.:

	tar cCf / ~/grass.tar
