| Feb 23, 2018 at 18:38 | comment | added | gil_happy | Moving onto your update about the TIGER data... how do I do any type of importing when I open GRASS and I receive the error message about 'No GRASS location found in /home/me or /home/me/grassdata'? Again, it looks like I need to first select the 'GRASS GIS database directory' before I can proceed with anything else. | |
| Feb 23, 2018 at 18:38 | comment | added | gil_happy | Thanks for this Micha... I think I mentioned earlier that when I uncompress the tl_2017_us_zcta510.zip file I download from the US Census Bureau, it creates 7 files. I then copy those 7 files into the /home/me/grassdata directory (those are the 'only' files in the 'grassdata' directory). When I go to open GRASS GIS, I immediately receive the error. | |

Regarding the TIGER data, you'll need to import the shapefile into GRASS as a vector. See v.in.ogr and/or v.import. Typically you should never need to copy files into the GRASS database. Rather the GRASS import functions do that for you.

| Feb 23, 2018 at 14:03 | comment | added | Micha | I think you missed the step in the wiki where it says: "You'll want to uncompress them first, ideally into a directory called "grassdata" in your home directory. " after you do that, you should be able to choose /home/me/grassdata as your GRASS database, then the locations and mapsets will appear | |
| Feb 22, 2018 at 17:17 | comment | added | gil_happy | I want to download the the US Zip boundaries from the US Census Bureau (map with all of the US zip codes mapped out) Here is the link: census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html Do I need? TIGER/Line Shapefiles - New 2017 Shapefile or Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles When I download and extract either of them, it seems like there a number of files (cpg, dbf, prj, shp, xml, shx) and when I put all of those files into Grass 7 (into the /home/me/grassdata), I'm getting the same error as originally reported even after selecting the 'me' directory as mentioned by 'mankoff' | |
| Feb 22, 2018 at 17:15 | comment | added | gil_happy | Thank you 'mankoff'! Ugh, no wonder the most basic step didn't work - the tutuorial or Wiki is incorrect. I no longer receive the error. | |
| Feb 22, 2018 at 6:23 | comment | added | mankoff | Don't choose "grassdata". Choose "me". | |

| Feb 21, 2018 at 21:24 | comment | added | gil_happy | Hmm, when I select 'browse', then navigate to /home/me, and then choose 'grassdata', I receive that error. As mentioned in my post, if I go to the file system in look in the 'grassdata' folder, I have 3 folders, and 3 files. | |

What if you navigate to /home/me/? grassdata is the LOCATION. The folders within are the MAPSETS.
