REQUIREMENTS to compile GRASS GIS 7
A workstation running some flavor of UNIX including GNU/Linux, Solaris, IRIX, BSD,
Mac OSX, Cygwin or MinGW (on Win32/Win64). Ideally, you should have at least 800 MB of
free disk space. The source code package needs disk space of around 26 MB compressed
and 440MB uncompressed. The resulting binaries may need between 20 MB and 180 MB
depending on your platform and compiler flags. During a full compilation you may need
temporarily up to 550MB including the source code.
To enable and disable features please read the INSTALL file.
General requirements:
(most tools are standard tools on GNU/Linux, for other platforms you may have
to install some of them.)
Optional requirements:
Note: also the respective development packages (commonly named xxx-dev or xxx-devel) need
to be installed.
- C++ Compiler (required for the various C++ GRASS module)
gcc: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
- FFTW 2.x or 3.x (library for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform), required
for i.fft and i.ifft and other modules
http://www.fftw.org
- GEOS (Geometry Engine library), needed for v.buffer and adds extended options
to the v.select module
http://trac.osgeo.org/geos
- LAPACK / BLAS (libraries for numerical computing) for GMATH library (GRASS Numerical Library)
http://www.netlib.org/lapack (usually available on Linux distros)
Note: LAPACK/BLAS support is at time only needed for selected Addons
- NetCDF (for 3D raster netcdf export)
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/
- If hardware openGL support is missing in the X Server, Mesa-3.x (openGL clone)
may be required for wxNVIZ
http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net
- libpng (for r.out.png and the PNG driver), usually already installed.
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
- libtiff (for r.out.tiff), usually already installed.
http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff
- readline for extra command prompt functionality

http://www.dabeaz.com/ply
- Python Imaging Library or PILLOW (highly recommended for wxGUI and necessary for wxGUI Cartographic Composer)
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil,
newer versions are named "python-pillow"
- Python matplotlib > 1.2 ("python-matplotlib", needed for the several wxGUI tools)
http://matplotlib.org/
- python-termcolor (recommended for g.search.modules)
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/termcolor
- FFMPEG or alternative (for wxGUI Animation tool - g.gui.module),
