Deployment Process Overview: Step One :: SAS® Visual Analytics 7.4: Installation and Configuration Guide (Distributed SAS® LASR(TM))

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 first of six steps required to install and configure SAS Visual Analytics.

1. Create a SAS Software Depot.

2. Check for documentation updates.

3. (Optional) Deploy the SAS High-Performance Analytics infrastructure.

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

5. Deploy required third-party software.

6. Deploy the servers and middle tier.
