Step 4: Create a Shared Folder

Create a folder on your local computer in a location that you will remember. You might want to create it within the same directory as the SAS Data Loader program files. This folder, which is referred to as the shared folder, will be used for all the files that are stored and referenced by SAS Data Loader for Hadoop. These files persist between vApp plays and between vApp updates.
You will need to refer to this folder in the next step when you configure VMware Player Pro.
