[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS and alternative command line terminals in Windows

[Sajid Pareeth]

Hi all

I need to teach students GRASS GIS in Windows 7. Of course the GUI part
works and all good.

But for command line, Is there anything better than cmd.exe?

There are many Console emulators available now a days, like Cmder (
http://cmder.net/)  and ConEmu (https://conemu.github.io/) in windows which
are rich in features. GRASS GIS works in those, but wont inherit the
features of those terminals as it opens with cmd.exe as shell.

Is there any way to get GRASS GIS work with those features of the terminals
too?

I see in the startup script that cygwin is still given as an optional
shell. I have never used it. How easy is to setup grass 7 with cygwin
considering that students also have to follow it?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Regards

Sajid
