Download and install i.landsat.toar into current GRASS installation: g.extension extension=i.landsat.toar

BUGS¶

This is a new module and obtaining successful behavior on all platforms is rather tricky. Please report any problems to the GRASS bug tracker. If this automatic build fails, instructions for compiling both the GRASS source code and GRASS addons by hand can be found in the GRASS wiki.
