[GRASS-user] How to use g.extension in GRASS7.8

[Bernardo Santos]

 Hi Markus and Vero,
Thanks. Indeed, my GRASS version is old:GRASS 7.8.5Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
I unfortunately do not have a way to upgrade it myself since this is a company server shared with other people (and we have been fighting with IT to change to GRASS 8).But maybe it is easier to at lease update GRASS to version 7.8.7 (or 7.8.8).
I just talked to a colleague (@mauricio.vancince) who mentioned he had the same problem but could overcome it opening the terminal as a superuser and using g.extension r.area -sUnfortunately I do not have admin rights, but I will see what is possible to be done.
Thanks!BestBernardo

Ah right. Then your GRASS GIS 7.8 version may be too old. G 7.8.7
should be ok (G 7.8.8 is on the way these days) but in any case, as
Vero pointed out, we highly recommend to upgrade to GRASS GIS 8.2.x.

Best,
Markus
