== SAS == SAS is a commercial analytics software. Cypress does not provide SAS, but you may use a personal license if it is compatible with Cypress. SAS is available for purchase at [http://tulane.e-academy.com/ Tulane e-Academy]. You will need a Linux version compatible with the Operating System on Cypress, CentOS 6. SAS may come as a compressed folder, e.g. "TS1M6-Linux.zip". If so, please first extract/decompress the folder. You will get a folder, e.g. "TS1M6-Linux". Upload this folder to a temporary location on your group project folder on Cypress, for example /lustre/project/mygroup/joeuser/tmp. Login to Cypress using X window tunneling in order to run the graphical installer: https://wiki.hpc.tulane.edu/trac/wiki/cypress/SshUsage#TunnelingXWindowsSessionviaSSH Find and run the "setup.sh" script in the SAS folder, and follow the instructions. Note the following during installation: - Specify a location in your project folder to install SAS (SAS Home), for example /lustre/project/mygroup/joeuser/sas. - When prompted for SAS installation data file, browse to the "sid_files" folder and select the version for Linux, for example "SAS94_123456_99999999_LINUX_X86-64.txt". If the data file is expired, you will need to replace it with a newer unexpired version provided to you when you purchased or renewed the software. - Do not configure any SAS/ACCESS Interfaces (deselect these options if asked). - You do not need to run the "setuid.sh" script. Now you can run the program using the "sas" startup script, for example /lustre/project/mygroup/joeuser/sas/SASFoundation/9.4/sas. You may add the appropriate folder to your path, e.g.: {{{ export PATH=/lustre/project/mygroup/joeuser/sas/SASFoundation/9.4:$PATH }}} so you can simply type "sas" to start the program. '''Note: You should not run the program directly on the Cypress login nodes, but instead run SAS by [https://wiki.hpc.tulane.edu/trac/wiki/cypress/using#SubmittingJobsonCypress submitting either an interactive or batch job].''' You can start SAS in interactive line mode: {{{ sas -nodms }}} or, if you have a SAS program, e.g. "example.sas", you can run it with: {{{ sas example.sas }}}
