Specify SAS Home

The appearance of this page varies depending on if you have used the SAS Deployment Wizard on the machine before and the operating system of the machine you are running it on.

The first time you use the SAS Deployment Wizard on this machine, enter the location where your SAS software will be installed in the SAS Home text box or use Browse to search for a location. If you are installing on z/OS, the SAS Home location should be a UNIX file system path of 54 characters or less. This location will contain additional SAS content beyond what is installed to the traditional high level qualifier. The z/OS SAS installer user ID should have writer permission to this location.

Windows users should note that this page only appears once, the first time that you use the SAS Deployment Wizard on a particular machine. Each subsequent use of the SAS Deployment Wizard will use this same location to install your SAS software. If the page does open again, it will be grayed out and indicates that you are attempting to install software in the SAS Home that is an older version of software already installed there. Either click Back to return to earlier pages in order to change the order you are installing or click Cancel in order to close the SAS Deployment Wizard and uninstall the software in SAS Home.

If you are using a different operating system than Windows and you have already run the SAS Deployment Wizard on this machine before, choose between using a SAS HOME you have already created and creating another installation location on this machine. Choose Select a previously created SAS HOME in order to install into a previous location. If you select this option, highlight the correct installation location from the locations provided in the list. If you want to install your software in a new location, select Create a new SAS HOME and then provide the location by either typing it into the SAS HOME text box or using Browse to find it.

When you have identified the location where your SAS software should be installed, click Next to continue.
