  2. Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process. However, it is good general practice to back up your system before applying updates to software.

  3. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

  4. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

INSTALLATION

1. The installer downloaded is B04018la.bin.

When downloading SAS 9.2 hot fix packages, you must choose to Save the hot fix to disk, then execute the install from the saved location. Attempting to install a hot fix directly from the download page results in the error documented in SAS Note 37104.

Verify that the installation binary has execute permission. If it does not, use the chmod command to make it executable.

$> chmod 755 B04018la.bin
2. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable
export DISPLAY=<your_node_name>:0
3. Execute B04018la.bin
<path_to_downloaded_file>/B04018la.bin
    For example:
./B04018la.bin

This will initiate the installation wizard, which will guide you through the hot fix installation process. During the installation you will be prompted for the SASHOME location to be updated. You should provide the path to the top level SAS directory where the deploymntreg directory exists.
