You have to own the mapset directory; having write permission isn't
sufficient.

You can only run the commands within a GRASS session, so you have to
get GRASS to start first.

The manual pages will probably be stored in a directory which isn't
visible to "man"; the default is typically /usr/local/grass5/man. To
get "man" to see the files, you can either edit man.config (typically
/etc/man.config) or set MANPATH in your shell startup scripts
(/etc/profile, ~/.bashrc etc).
