## 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.

## EXAMPLES

Download and unpack the full North Carolina sample project into the user's HOME directory:

    g.download.project url=https://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/north_carolina/nc_spm_full_v2alpha2.tar.gz path=$HOME

### Download the full GRASS GIS sample project in a temporary session

In a temporary session, download and unpack the full North Carolina sample project into the user's HOME directory:
