This is a repository for FUTURES model as GRASS GIS r.futures module.
To get the officially released version first install GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) and then install r.futures modules from GRASS Addons using GUI (Settings -> Addons extensions -> Install extension from addons) or the following command:
g.extension r.futures
You will also need these additional addons:
g.extension r.sample.category
g.extension r.object.geometry
To run r.futures.potential, you also need R (>= 3.5.0) and R packages MuMIn, lme4, optparse. Once you install R, run in R:
install.packages(c("MuMIn", "lme4", "optparse"))
Optionally, install SciPy to be used for certain parameters in r.futures.demand:
pip install scipy
See notes for specific platforms.
Install GRASS GIS from packages:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grass
Install R from packages, minimum version is 3.5.0. Install SciPy using pip.
It is recommended to first install R and then GRASS GIS, so that GRASS knows where to find R executables, because typically they are not on your PATH.
Use OSGeo4W package manager and install the latest stable GRASS GIS 7 version and the SciPy Python package using the Advanced install option. A guide with step by step screen shot instructions is available here.
Install latest stable GRASS GIS from downloads page and follow the instruction.
This repository is the primary repository for development of GRASS GIS version of FUTURES model implementation.
If you want to use latest tested code, use the version in GRASS GIS Addons Subversion repository which is installable using g.extension in GRASS GIS and the code is available at:
The corresponding documentation is available at:
If you want the latest code with ongoing development (which might be possibly broken) use this repository.
The code which goes to GRASS GIS Addons is in the r.futures directory.
If you are a FUTURES developer and you are updating the version in GRASS GIS Addons, use the script copy_to_grass_addons.sh.
If you are a FUTURES developer and you completely synced the version in this repository and in Addons, create a Git tag using create_tag_synced.sh script.
If you cite FUTURES as a model concept, please use [1]. If you are referring to the actual software, also use [2]. For example: ... we projected urban growth using FUTURES model (Meentemeyer et al, 2013) implemented as GRASS GIS r.futures addon (Petrasova et al, 2016) version 1.0.0 ...
