Select Java Runtime Environment

The SAS software you are preparing to install requires a Java Runtime Environment. This page allows you to determine which Java Runtime Environment you want to be associated with this deployment. Choose which of the options you would like to perform.

Install/use the recommended Java Runtime Environment (Windows and UNIX only)
Select this option to install or use the required Java Runtime Environment on this machine. This is the preferred option because it ensures you will be using the Java Runtime Environment that SAS recommends. When UNIX users select this option, they should also enter the location where they want their Java Runtime Environment to be extracted in the text field, either by hand or by finding it using the Browse button.
No Java Runtime Environment (z/OS only)
The SAS Deployment Wizard can deploy your software on z/OS without a Java Runtime Environment. If you do not already have a Java Runtime Environment on your z/OS system or do not want to use an existing one as part of your deployment, select this option. Note, however, that planned deployments on z/OS machines require a JRE. If you are performing a planned deployment on z/OS, you must choose Select an existing Java Runtime Environment.
Select an existing Java Runtime Environment (all operating systems)
Select this option to use a Java Runtime Environment that you have already installed. If you select this option, the text field becomes active and you can enter the location of the Java Runtime Environment by hand or find it by using the Browse button.

Note that clicking the View Information About Supported Java Runtime Environment Versions link will take you to a Web page that describes the Java Runtime Environments that SAS recommends by operating system. If that link does not resolve for you, please go to http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/index.html for information about the recommended Java Runtime Environments.
