Sas University Edition Mac Users Manual

Posted on  by

A few months ago I shared the news about Jupyter notebook support for SAS. If you have SAS for Linux, you can install a free open-source project called sas-kernel and begin running SAS code within your Jupyter notebooks. In my post, I hinted that support for this might be coming in the SAS University Edition. I'm pleased to say that this is one time where my crystal ball actually worked -- Jupyter support has arrived!

Start coding in the notebook format

Title: sasmanips.dvi Author: Mike Created Date: 7/19/2006 9:29:38 PM. In this tutorial, I go over how to install SAS University Edition, a free version of the popular statistical software available to university students. Step 3: Select the SAS University Edition vApp, and click on the Machine menu and select the settings part of it. Step 4: Select the shared folders option and then click the Add Folder icon (+). Step 5: Choose the “Other” option under the Folder Path input, and select the myfolders present in the SASUniversityEdition folder. This video outlines the steps required to download, install, and set up both VMWare Player and the SAS software.To read about how to prepare for and pass the.

If you download or update your instance of SAS University Edition, you'll be able to point your browser to a slightly different URL and begin running SAS programs in Jupyter. Of course, you can continue to use SAS Studio to learn SAS programming skills. Having trouble deciding which to use? You don't have to choose: you can use both!


If you've started SAS University Edition within Oracle Virtual Box, you can find SAS Studio at its familiar address: http://localhost:10080/. And you can find the Jupyter notebook environment at: http://localhost:18888/. (If you're using VMWare, the URLs are slightly different. Check the documentation.)

Why did SAS add support for Jupyter notebooks? The answer is simple: you asked for it. While we believe that SAS Studio provides a better environment for producing and managing SAS code, Jupyter notebooks are widely used by students and data scientists who want to package their code, results, and documentation in the convenient notebook format. Notebook files (*.ipynb format) are even supported on GitHub, easily shareable and viewable by others.

Now, what are the limitations?

Within SAS University Edition, the Jupyter environment supports only SAS programs. The Jupyter project can support other languages, including Python, Julia, and R (the namesake languages) and dozens of others with published language kernels. However, because of the virtual-machine core of the SAS University Edition, those other languages are not available.

Support for other languages (as well as for the Jupyter console) is available when you use Jupyter in a standalone SAS environment. In fact, the sas_kernel project recently received some exciting updates. You can now host the Jupyter environment on a different machine than your SAS server (although Linux is still the only supported SAS host), and the installation process has been streamlined. See more on the sassoftware GitHub home for the sas_kernel project.
