I cd to the install directory (~/sas/sas_9.1) and still nothing. If I run the command 'sas' it says 'command not found'. so often I had to manually set the 'x' bit (chmod +x scriptname) and 'retry' the install or hand-run the scripts.įor instance, in the last lines of the setup.sh script in the root of the sw depot folder, I added the chmod +x lineĮxec '$templocation/$launch' -startuplocation '$startuplocation' -templocat (This means that if you copy over the 'SAS Software Depot' folder from Windows after you download it with the windows-only-SAS-download tools (Thanks, SAS) - you'll need to rename that directory to 'SAS_SW_DEP' or something without spaces)įor some reason, the execute 'X' bit isnt getting set on scripts that are generated. Make sure the FULL PATH of the location of your SAS install files includes NO SPACES!!!!

make sure BASH shell is the ls -ls /bin/shĠ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 06:58 /bin/sh -> bash Copied sas software depot over to Ubuntu Some notes for Ubuntu HH 8.04 Hardy Heron: If you can get your SAS for Linux entitlement downloaded into a 'SAS Software Depot' folder on a windows machine, then copy that over to an UBUNTU box, you can make it work.

Therefore I was curious how the sharing worked.Īssuming you have paid for SAS and have a valid license that gets you in to their download center. The former should be accomodated by SAS products, if you can afford them )The main issue is that you can run into issues when you are trying to display a SAS dataset that is created on a Windows platform and try to open this in a Linux environment (when you simply copy the file from one location to the other). Sharing access via SAS clients or allowing clients to download the datasets ? What you do depends on what you mean by 'sharing' the SAS datasets. you can have SAS access files on other platforms in several ways, provided you have a SAS server running on both platforms.īut maybe this is too much of SAS on a Ubuntu Forum ) They had to create the SAS datasets from the flat file. I do remember having to create data files on the VAX in SAS and then sending certain flat files to a Win server for another dept who had PC SAS. have no SAS :( so I am unable to experiment for you.

dbf files of the sets which the remote clients could probably see across the network. If that is not successful you could experiment creating. I would think you would need the SAS ODBC drivers to access the remote data.
