Before you begin installing
the SAS Foundation software, be sure to do the following:
-
SAS provides a script (setuid.sh)
with which to set certain SAS installation files with setuid permissions
and root ownership. The setuid.sh script must be run as root in order
to complete successfully. You have three options for running setuid.sh:
-
Set up sudo for the SAS Installer
before running the deployment wizard. You will not be prompted for
the sudo password.
The wizard that runs
under the installer account will have sudo privileges to run setuid.sh.
-
Provide the sudo password when
prompted by the deployment wizard, and allow the wizard to run setuid.sh
as sudo.
-
When the wizard is finished, run
setuid.sh as root yourself.
Note: If sudo access is not provided
to the deployment wizard, then your SAS Studio Basic Server will not
start automatically after deployment.
-
If either the SAS Download Manager
or the SAS Deployment Wizard is running, stop both programs.
-
Make sure that the computer is
connected to a reliable power source. Do not rely on battery power
during this process.
