Download Your Software Order and Create a Depot

To download your software order and use the SAS Download Manager to create your SAS Software Depot, follow these steps:

Make sure that you know your SAS order number and the SAS installation key, both of which are contained in your Software Order Email (SOE).

You will be asked for this information later.
Make sure that you have completed the Pre-Installation Checklist.

Note: If you plan to move your SAS software order to another machine running a different operating system after you download it, please read the following SAS Note available at http://support.sas.com/kb/38/258.html.
As the SAS Installer user (for example, sas), log on to the machine on which you want to install SAS.
Open a web browser and point it to http://support.sas.com/downloadmgr.

The Downloads page is displayed.
If you are not already logged in to the website, do so now by clicking Log in. (If you are logged in, skip to step 7.)

The SAS Login page is displayed.

Note: If you have not already set up a SAS Profile, see Setting Up Your SAS Profile.

The SAS Download Manager window is displayed.
Click the Request Download link that is appropriate for your operating system.

The SAS License Agreement for Download window is displayed.

Your web browser should prompt you to save the download file.

For example, in Firefox, you see the Opening dialog box.
Save the file on your machine to a subdirectory under your SAS directory, such as /opt/sas9.4/dlm.

Your web browser should give you some indication that the file has been saved and the download is finished.

For example, in Firefox, you see the Downloads dialog box and a Downloads Complete message.
Close your web browser.

From the UNIX command line, run the download file (for example, /opt/sas9.4/dlm/esdclient__94360__lax__xx__web__1).

Note: You might need to turn on the execute bit (for example, chmod 744 esdclient__94360__lax__xx__web__1).

The command begins uncompressing the download manager installation files.

You should see output similar to the following:

When you are ready to start your download, click Download.

The Download in Progress window is displayed with the estimated time it takes to complete the software download.

Wait until the Download Complete window is displayed.
Click Next.

A second Download Complete window is displayed. It identifies the software order that you added to your new SAS Software Depot, and confirms the directory that contains your depot.
Click Finish.
Make sure that the SAS installation files that you have just downloaded—referred to as a SAS Software Depot—are owned by your user ID and have the correct permissions. (Your user ID is referred to as the SAS Installation user.)

In the following example, sas is the SAS Installation user, and sasgroup is the SAS installation group:
```
cd /opt/sas9.4/depot
chmod -R 755 .    
chown -R sas:sasgroup .
```
