Using This Book

Audience

This book documents the installation and initial configuration of SAS Visual Analytics for a non-distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server for a traditional, on-premises deployment. This book does not include deploying any other SAS product beyond SAS Visual Analytics for a non-distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server. If you are upgrading, see the SAS Guide to Software Updates.
Although the majority of figures in this guide are from a Microsoft Windows deployment, the experience is mostly identical on Linux. Differences in the deployment between operating systems are noted.
For documentation about deploying SAS Visual Analytics for a distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server on an analytics cluster or converting your SAS LASR Analytic Servers to run in distributed mode, see the SAS Visual Analytics: Installation and Configuration Guide (Distributed SAS LASR).
