This Quick Start Guide walks you through confirming your order, reviewing critical documentation, and deploying SAS 9.4 software with the SAS Deployment Wizard.
The guide explains how to verify the contents of your SAS software order, check the order email and the Order Information document, and ensure you have the required third‑party software before deployment. It also details the administrator rights needed for Windows and the required sas account settings for UNIX.
Installation is performed with the SAS Deployment Wizard, which is launched by double‑clicking setup.exe on Windows or running setup.sh on UNIX. The guide covers backup steps, post‑deployment tasks, and where to find additional support resources such as the SAS Knowledge Base and FAQ.
Check the SAS Software Order Email and the SAS Order Information document in your SAS Software Depot for the list of products.
The installer account must have Administrator rights (local administrator or member of the administrators group).
Run the setup.sh script at the root of your SAS Software Depot.
