Overview

This repo contains info and scripts to help get you up and running with the new Cloud-Native (containerised) version of SAS Analytics Pro from the SAS Institute. The first release of this software is version 2021.1.4 (August 2021).

This release is for version 2021.2.4 (February 2022).

This repo should be used in conjunction with the official SAS Analytics Pro Deployment Guide. The intention of this repo is to make a few things for the less technical user a bit easier to get up and running.

• Your Certificate (*-certs.zip) file from the My Orders section of my.sas.com
• Your License (*.jwt) from the My Orders section of my.sas.com
• Copy of this repo. The root of this repo is the $deploy directory mentioned in the SAS Deployment Guide.
  • Mac/Linux Users - a clone of this repo or a tgz/zip of a specific release
  • Windows - a zip of a specific release you want to use (you could also use a clone of this repo but you will need to set git config auto.crlf false after you clone in order for the launch to work)
• Instructions below assume you have a normal (i.e. not elevated) command prompt/terminal open and have changed directory into the top level of this repo.

2. Run ./launchapro.sh from the Terminal.
3. The startup process will be displayed in the console, along with the generated password you will need to use.

Environment Notes

When you launch the new SAS Analytics Pro environment your user interface into SAS will be via your browser using SAS Studio. Whether you are running your environment using Docker on Windows, Linux or Mac, all paths within the environment will use Unix paths. With the default configuration the main file system location common to both your SAS environment and your local machine will be the data directory within this repo.
