At this point, the SAS Software Navigator begins installing your SAS software. 60 Install the Software 4 Chapter 6 Install the Software Overview of Installing the Software After you have told the SAS Software Navigator to start installing software, it presents you with a window in which you can track the progress of the installation, and it begins installing the products in the list. It installs these products in the order shown in the list. You will encounter two types of installations: 3 silent installations 3 interactive installations Silent Installations The products with a blue sphere to the left of them are installed silently. No user interaction is required for these installations. Interactive Installations For products that do not have a blue sphere to the left of them, user interaction is required. For instance, when the navigator begins the installation of the SAS Foundation on a Windows metadata server machine, it starts the following installation program. Installing and Configuring Your SAS Software 4 Start of the Configuration Wizard 61 You use this installation program and the corresponding documentation to install the product. CAUTION: When you are installing the SAS Foundation on a UNIX system and see the message "Prompt for root password later during this run?" answer Y. As the message in the installation program explains, "Certain SAS products and features employ functionality that requires SAS to check user ID authentication and file access authorizations. This in turn necessitates that certain files within your SAS installation have setuid permissions and be owned by root. " Of course, you will have to enter the root password later in the installation. 4 Install any other products that cannot be installed silently in a similar manner. Start of the Configuration Wizard If there are configurable components in the list of products to be installed, the last item in the navigator's list will be the SAS Configuration Wizard. When the navigator reaches this item, it will start the wizard, which you use to configure the software that you just installed. 62 Configuring Software Using the SAS Configuration Wizard 4 Chapter 6 For information about how to run the SAS Configuration Wizard, see the following section. Configuring Software Using the SAS Configuration Wizard Overview of Configuring Software Using the SAS Configuration Wizard Your interaction with the SAS Configuration Wizard can be broken down into a number of phases: 3 First, you specify some preliminary information, such as the language in which the wizard should display its messages and prompts. 3 The wizard then prompts you for information that it knows it will need when it configures the current machine. For example, the wizard might prompt you for information about the user accounts that you created in Chapter 2. 3 The wizard continues to obtain input from you by enabling you to edit a set of advanced properties in a text file. After you have edited these properties--or if you indicate that you do not need to edit them--the wizard performs as much automated configuration of the machine as possible.
