Overview of SAS Software Depots :: SAS(R) 9.3 Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide

One prerequisite for deploying SAS is to create a special file system of SAS product and order data—a SAS Software Depot—that the SAS Deployment Wizard then uses to install and configure SAS.

Creating a SAS Software Depot is the third of five steps required to install and configure the SAS Intelligence Platform:

1. Review additional documentation.

2. Create operating system users and groups and designate ports.

3. Create a SAS Software Depot.

4. Install required third-party software.

5. Install and configure SAS.
