DESCRIPTION

g.download.project downloads an archived (e.g., .zip or .tar.gz) project (previously called location) from a given URL and unpacks it to a specified or current GRASS GIS Spatial Database. URL can be also a local file on the disk. If the archive contains a directory which contains a project, the module will recognize that and use the project automatically. The first directory which is a project is used. Other projects or any other files are ignored.
