Specify a Location for SAS Home and the Configuration Directory

  1. Run mkdir directory-path to create a parent directory for SASHome and a configuration directory. An example of a directory-path is /opt/sas, so the resulting subdirectories are /opt/sas/SASHome and /opt/sas/studioconfig.
  2. Run chown user-IDdirectory-path to change the owner of these directories. The user-ID is the user ID that is used to complete the installations. An example of a user ID is sas.
