</span>The font and map files are supplementary data sets that are required in order to run GrADS. Their default location is: <code><span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,mono; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">/usr/local/lib/grads/. </span></code>If you do not have write permission for this directory you can place the files elsewhere, but you must also change the environment variable <code style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,mono; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">GADDIR</code> so the GrADS executables will know where to find these files. You can download the data files separately by clicking here: <a href="ftp://grads.iges.org/grads/data.tar.Z" target="_blank"><code style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,mono; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><b>data.tar.Z</b></span></code></a> <a href="ftp://grads.iges.org/grads/data.tar.Z" target="_blank"><code style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,mono; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><b></b></span></code></a>.</p>
