[GRASS-user] installation of grass 7 unknown-linux binaries

[José Anderson]

J, H,

the long term supported (LTS) ubuntu up-to-date is 12.04, but
grass-gui is not available to it.

By the way, other grass-gui release number is 6.4 instead of 7.0. Is
that correct to grass 7?

Should 'grass-gui_6.4.2-2build1_amd64.deb' work in ubuntu 12.04?
