Install and Configure SAS

You install and initially configure SAS by running the SAS Deployment Wizard.

To install and configure SAS:

Make sure that you have completed the Pre-Installation Checklist.
Log in to your machine as the SAS Installer user (for example, sas).

This can be your regular account, but you must use this same account in the future if you want to add, modify, or remove SAS software.
Change to the location where the SAS installation files (referred to as the SAS Software Depot) were downloaded (for example, /opt/sas9.4/depot).
Enter the following command:

./setup.sh

You see output similar to the following:
```

Select the language that you want the SAS Deployment Wizard to use when it displays text, and click OK.

Next, the Select Deployment Task page is displayed.
Make sure that Install SAS Software is selected, and click Next.

Select the language, region, and locale settings that affect how SAS displays text, numbers, currencies, dates, and times and how SAS sorts data. Then click Next.

Click Next.

The SAS Studio Basic Deployment Summary page is displayed.
Click Next.

The deployment wizard scans your machine to determine whether any pre-existing SAS files are locked or do not have Write permission. The wizard also checks whether there is adequate disk space to install SAS.
When the scan is completed, If no action is required, click Next.

If the wizard lists any files in the text box, then while the wizard is running, quit SAS and add Write permission to the files listed, or clear the lock on any affected files. When you finish, click Next.

The Deployment Summary page is displayed.
Review the summary of software that the deployment wizard will install.
This is the last opportunity to go back and change any information that you have provided in previous pages before the wizard begins installing SAS. Make one of the following choices:
- Click Start to begin installing SAS files. The deployment wizard launches the installation and provides an ongoing status update.
- Click Back to navigate to earlier wizard pages to change installation information previously entered.
- Click Cancel to terminate the wizard session. Note that you will lose installation information previously entered.
If you click Start, the Deployment in Progress page is displayed.

When the deployment wizard has finished installing SAS, the Deployment Complete page is displayed.
The Deployment Complete page displays the installation results for each SAS product.
- Green check marks next to every item on this page indicate that your installation completed successfully. Click Next.
- If you received errors during your installation, review Troubleshooting a SAS Deployment.

Click Finish to close the SAS Deployment Wizard.
If you did not set up sudo for the SAS Installer or provide the sudo password when prompted by the deployment wizard, you must run the setuid.sh script with sudo or be logged in as the root user as shown below.

Enter the following command:

sudo SAS-installation-directory/SASFoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/setuid.sh

Output similar to the following indicates that setuid.sh ran successfully:
```
Performing the User Authentication setup step required by SAS.
Attempting to setuid bit and change ownership of files:
sasperm sasauth elssrv, to root
User Authentication setup has successfully completed.
```
