GRASS/R Interface

This section covers how to first download and then install the necessary frameworks and packages for the GRASS/R interface.

Frameworks

Installing these frameworks involves double-clicking the .mpkg file in the disk image and following the on-screen instructions. These frameworks were installed in the order they appear from top to bottom.

Packages

  • rgdal
    • Once the zip file has been downloaded, open R Preferences
    • Go to the Startup Pane and select Add ~/Library/R... under Default Library Paths
    • Under the Packages & Data menu, open the Packages Installer
    • Select At User Level at the bottom of the window as well as install dependencies on the bottom right hand corner
    • Select Get List and choose your mirror site
    • Scroll down the page, find the package sp, and download/install it
    • Go back up to the drop down menu under Packages Repository and select Local Source Package
    • Select Install All, find the folder where you saved your downloaded file
    • Select the .tgz file and hit open
    • The package should run a script in R and will be installed once that is done
  • spgrass6
    • Open R
    • Run the command:
install.packages("spgrass6", type="source", dependencies=TRUE)
    • The packaged should run a script in R and will be installed once that is done

R can now be run within OpenOSX Grass by typing R in the terminal once Grass is open.

QGIS/GRASS Plugin

  • In order to import/load and manipulate data with QGIS, the GRASS Plugin needs to be installed
  • This can be done by opening QGIS and looking under the Plugins menu
