What Is Covered in This Document?

This document assumes that you and your SAS representative have decided what software you need and on what machine you will install the software. So this document begins with pre-installation and continues through the installatio, and configuration tasks that you must perform for a basic deployment of SAS Foundation and related software on a UNIX machine.
This document is written for the SAS system administrator—the person who oversees the entire process of deploying SAS. The administrator receives the software order email (SOE), receives the physical installation media or downloads the order, and installs and configures SAS.
