[Qgis-user] How to enable GRASS7 in QGIS 2.16 on Mac?

Tue Oct 18 14:56:24 PDT 2016

It’s something gone wrong with QGIS/GRASS7 compatibility on Mac.

I was finally able to get the old Grass6 tools to work by installing Grass 6 and resetting the Processing Toolbox paths to that installation (and deleting all Msys paths).

SO, the Grass7 thing on Mac appears to not be resolved, yet.

Hi...check your using Grass 7.0.4 and QGIS 2.16.3 Grass and ensure you have correct location to the grass tool in QGIS i.e In QGIS go to 'Processing' then 'Options' then GRASS7-folder = c:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass-7.0.4. But i haven't used the MAC version for many years.

I can confirm that I am currently struggling with getting Grass7 tools to
work in 2.16.3, as well.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I¹ve been on StackExchange for
about 3 hours, now.
