[GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working

[Rebecca Bennett]

Hello Erika

I would also agree with Hermann about starting with QGIS to view your 
files and work with them, but as I have recently discovered when setting up my labs, the plugins for QGIS on Mac have a lot of dependencies that are not included in the repo version, so follow the instructions here 
carefully downloading all the extra packages first

GRASS and QGIS interface pretty nicely - I have a couple of QGIS / GRASS labs on my website that might help get you started (although they are 
specifically designed for archaeology students)

Good luck!
