These instructions give tips on installing SAS on Linux. The first set of instructions assume that you are installing the software as a superuser (probably using the "root" account). This is the easiest way to install the software, but carries some level of risk. Remember that as a superuser, you can delete any files and could possibly remove files or replace files that you did not intend to. Use this method with caution.
See the instructions that come with your SAS packet. In addition, the SAS website has some useful notes on installing SAS for linux. The university of Virginia also has some useful installation notes.
Below is a quick rundown of how to install SAS.
1. Open a terminal window. This first terminal window will be used for running the SAS install script.
2. Open a second terminal window. This second terminal window will used for mounting and unmounting floppy disks and CDs.
3. Insert floppy disk with setinit and mount it as shown below. Type the following commands in the second terminal window.
[root@statlinux ~]# mount /mnt/floppy mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
4. Insert CD #1 from install packet into the CD rom drive. In the second terminal window type the following.
[root@statlinux ~]# /mnt/cdrom/SASSETUP

SAS System Installation Setup
Welcome to SAS Setup, a menu driven application used to install
and maintain the SAS System. SAS Setup is fully documented in
the installation instructions included in your installation
package. Online copies of the enclosures can be found in the doc
directory on the installation media, or in !SASROOT/doc once the
system is installed.
Some conventions used throughout SAS Setup are:
* indicates the default menu selection
[ ] indicates the default prompt or menu choice
( ) indicates a menu item is not selectable
H, H#, #H displays help for a menu or prompt
G goback to a previous menu or prompt
Q quits SAS Setup at any point
Press <Return> to continue...
5. Press the <return> key to continue.
SAS Setup Primary Menu ---------------------- * 1. Load Software from Media 2. Run Setup Utilities 3. Quit SAS Setup ------------------------------- g: Goback q: Quit h: Help ------------------------------- Action ? [1] 1
6. Press 1 and then the <return> key to continue.
Load Software from Media ------------------------ * 1. Load all Software from Media 2. Load Selected Software 3. Load Software Maintenance Only 4. Load NLS Translations Only ------------------------------- g: Goback q: Quit h: Help ------------------------------- Action ? [1] 1
7. Press 1 and then the <return> key to continue.
Please enter the directory path of the installation media. This can be a mount point for the mounted CD or a disk location for downloaded installation components. [/mnt/cdrom]
8. Press the <return> key to accept this path and continue.
Please enter the full path name for the target location for the SAS System. The directory must be empty if this is a new installation. If you specify a directory that does not already exist, it will be created for you. Otherwise, the path should reference the root directory of a valid SAS System installation. Target location path? [/usr/local/SAS_8.2]
9. Press the <return> key to accept this as the path for SAS.
You have specified the following path for your SAS System target location: /usr/local/SAS_8.2 Is this correct? [Y]
10. Press Y and then the <return> key to continue.
The following directory does not exist: /usr/local/SAS_8.2 Would you like to have it created? [Y]
11. Press Y and then the <return> key to continue.
The SETINIT information file is either expired, invalid, or cannot be validated at this time. Do you wish to continue the install using this SETINIT? [Y]
12. Press N and then the <return> key to continue.
Enter the directory path of the SETINIT information file to apply: []
13. Type /mnt/floppy and then the <return> key to continue.
You have selected Graph Maps to be installed. Because of the large size of the Map files, they are stored in compressed format when installed to your system to save disk space. If you wish, these Maps can be uncompressed as a part of the installation process. Do you want to uncompress Maps during the install? [Y]
14. If you do not want the maps uncompressed, then type N and then the <return> key to continue.
Most SAS/ACCESS products require post-processing or validation programs to run prior to use. You will be asked to select which products to process in the following select screen. Only those SAS/ACCESS products which require post-processing will be shown. You may choose not to do the post-processing for SAS/ACCESS products at this time, but the products will not work correctly until the required post-processing is done. Press <Return> to continue...
15. Press <return> key to continue.

16. You probably don't want to install these. If so, press <return> key to continue.
No databases will be configured at this time.
Final disk space requirements (in MB):
Total Available Disk Space: 4322
Required for Installation: 650

Remaining after Installation: 3672
There is sufficient disk space for installation.
Do you wish to continue? [Y]
15. Press Y and the <return> key to continue.

Please umount the current media and mount the next volume. If you use the same directory for the next media, simply press 'RETURN' at the prompt below when the new media is mounted. However, if the next media volume is mounted in a separate directory from the previous media, then you can enter the new pathname at the prompt below.

17. Make a soft link in /usr/local/bin pointing to SAS. This will enable you (and others) to run SAS from any directory.
[root@statlinux ~]# cd /usr/local/bin [root@statlinux bin]# ln -s /usr/local/SAS_8.2/sas sas
18. Reboot linux and SAS should be ready to run.
You can start SAS interactively by typing sas or you can run a SAS program (e.g. myprogram.sas) in batch mode in the background by typing.
[root@statlinux ~]# sas myprogram &
