Introduction to Installing the SAS Intelligence Platform

What Is Covered in This Document?

This document begins where you and your SAS representative have decided what software you need and on what machines you will install the software. At this point, you can begin performing some pre-installation tasks, such as creating operating system user accounts and designating the ports that you will use during installation.

This document covers all of the pre-installation, installation, and configuration tasks that you must perform to deploy the SAS Intelligence Platform on either a single machine or in a distributed, mixed operating system environment. By the time you reach the end of this document, all of your SAS servers, middle-tier servers, and clients will be functional.

Installing the software will be easier if you read the following documents as well:

SAS Intelligence Platform: Overview to understand the architecture of the system.
configuration documentation for SAS solutions. Many of the solutions leverage the functionality of the SAS Intelligence Platform. If your SAS deployment plan includes a solution, then you might also be referred to additional solution-specific configuration information.

Note: If you have licensed SAS solutions, consult with your SAS representative for more information. [cautionend]
