Introduction to the !SASROOT Directory

When SAS is installed, its entire directory structure is located in a directory in your file system. This directory is called SASHOME. The SASHOME directory can be located anywhere in your file system. The default location for SASHOME is /usr/local/SAS. The traditional !SASROOT directory (SAS Foundation) is automatically installed in a subdirectory that is located in SASHOME. The default directory for !SASROOT is SASHOME/SASFoundation/9.x, where x is the SAS release.
