Download SAS University Edition

To start the process, go to: 

https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/university-edition.html#for-students-learners

 

 

Read the features of the SAS program by scrolling down the webpage.

 

Click on the Get free software button on the top right corner of the page.  Scroll down the page you are taken to and choose the operating system you are using.

 

You are now at the point where you will begin to download SAS and a virtualization program.  You will first download virtualization software that will allow the SAS program to run on your computer.     

 

Click on the first panel to download the virtualization software.  You must carefully look at the video on downloading and installing the software.

Before you go to step two, be sure to follow the online instructions;

  1. Create a folder named SASUniversityEdition (no spaces) on your local computer in a location you will remember.
  2. Then create a subfolder within the SASUniversityEdition folder called myfolders (no spaces). This is where you'll save all your SAS University Edition files.

In the second stage, you will download the SAS program to your hard-drive.

A.    Carefully watch the corresponding video for the second stage before you download SAS.

B.    You will be prompted to create a SAS profile in which you have to create a password.  Use your Cal State email address for your profile.

C.   When you click on the download button, the file might automatically begin downloading.  Be sure to observe where on your hard-drive the SAS program is being downloaded.

The third stage involves importing your SAS program into the virtual box you downloaded in step 1.  This is the most complicated stage and you have to carefully follow the video.  The video moves fast.  Stop the video at each step and follow its instructions.  When you downloaded the virtualization program in the first stage, it should create an icon on your desktop.  Click on that icon to launch the virtual box.

 

To launch the SAS program:

1.    First, you must launch the virtualization software.

2.    Second, in your web browser go to the site:  http://localhost:10080
