Spearfish data set installation:

• If you don't have, create a directory "grassdata" (or similar) in your home directory or use an existing directory
• change into that directory (cd grassdata)
• extract the data set here (<data set> may be "spearfish"):
  
  

GRASS 5.0              LOCATION: This is the name of an available geographic location.  -spearfish-             is the sample data base for which all tutorials are written.   MAPSET:   Every GRASS session runs under the name of a MAPSET.  Associated             with each MAPSET is a rectangular COORDINATE REGION and a list             of any new maps created.   DATABASE: This is the unix directory containing the geographic databases               The REGION defaults to the entire area of the chosen LOCATION.            You may change it later with the command: g.region   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   LOCATION:   spearfish_____             (enter list for a list of locations)   MAPSET:     user1_____                 (or mapsets within a location)   DATABASE:   /opt/grassdata____________                 AFTER COMPLETING ALL ANSWERS, HIT <ESC><ENTER>TO CONTINUE                               (OR <CTRL><C> TO CANCEL)
