• 00:06- [Narrator A] In this video we are going
• 00:07to walk you through the steps
• 00:09for setting up SAS on your computer.
• 00:11The first half will focus
• 00:12on the instructions for Windows users.
• 00:15As a Yale student, there are several options available.
• 00:19Number One,
• 00:21You can download SAS directly to your computer.
• 00:24To do this, just type Yale Software Library in your browser.
• 00:28You should be able to see a your.yale.edu link,
• 00:32which will lead to the Software Library.
• 00:34Search for the Software Student Icon.
• 00:40Once on this website,
• 00:41you can click on the Windows Download button.
• 00:44And follow the instructions for installation.
• 00:47You will need your Yale credentials to download the program.
• 00:52The main trouble of this option
• 00:54Is that it takes up large disk space.
• 00:57So if you don't have enough resources on your computer,
• 01:00you may want to try one of the following options.
• 01:04Number Two.
• 01:07The second option is to download SAS University Edition.
• 01:11Again, use your browser to search SAS University Edition.
• 01:16Since it's a virtual app,
• 01:17and will need to install optimization software.
• 01:21So it contains SAS Studio and Base App,
• 01:23There are slight differences in the commands and display
• 01:26that may pose problems later on.
• 01:29So we suggest that you leave this as a last resort.
• 01:33Number Three.
• 01:36The third option is to access SAS at MyApps
• 01:38on your virtual desktop.
• 01:41MyApps at Yale is a virtual service that provides
• 01:43access to Yale Windows space environment,
• 01:45containing all Yale licensed software.
• 01:49Alongside this video, we have provided a Word document,
• 01:52with detailed instructions.
• 01:56For number Three B, we provide also a link,
• 02:00to IT services, instructions, with pictures,
• 02:03that we suggest you follow along this video.
• 02:10First you will need to download
• 02:11and install the Windows remote desktop client
• 02:14from Yale software library.
• 02:15In this case, search for the orange icon
• 02:18with the white arrowhead.
• 02:21Once you click on it, you will see this website,
• 02:23where you have options to install as a Windows user,
• 02:27Mac user, iOS and Android.
• 02:31In this case, we are going to focus on the
• 02:33Download Windows 64 Bit option.
• 02:37Click on this button
• 02:38and follow the instructions for installation.
• 02:48If you can,
• 02:51type in your browser,
• 02:53the link we provided in the Word document
• 02:55for the following step.
• 03:00Once you've installed the remote desktop application
• 03:05launch the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client,
• 03:09and you will see a screen that says Let's get Started.
• 03:13You will need to Subscribe by clicking on this button.
• 03:17For this, you will need your Yale email.
• 03:21You will need to select work or school account.
• 03:25You will need to enter your netid password.
• 03:31Once you're signed in
• 03:33you will see the options that you have as a user.
• 03:37Most of us will only have a Yale desktop icon.
• 03:41Click on it.
• 03:45Once in the Yale desktop environment,
• 03:48you will see a normal Windows environment,
• 03:52and you can search for SAS in the file explorer.
• 03:58Now we will continue with the instructions for Mac users,
• 04:02and we will also provide some detailed instructions
• 04:05on how to open SAS files once in the virtual desktop.
• 04:14- [Narrator B] If you're a Mac user,
• 04:16you also have several options
• 04:17of how you can access SAS on your computer.
• 04:21So first, you can download SAS directly on to your laptop,
• 04:25however to do this,
• 04:26you will need to first install Boot Camp or Perl or Windows
• 04:31And then download SAS into the Windows environment,
• 04:34because SAS is only supported by Windows, and not in Mac.
• 04:38And be aware that this does take up a large disk space,
• 04:42because you will need to
• 04:43partition your laptop for Boot Camp,
• 04:45or download Perl or Windows
• 04:48on top of downloading the SAS software,
• 04:50which is a big software.
• 04:53Your second option is to download SAS University,
• 04:56which unlike regular SAS,
• 04:58SAS university is directly downloadable on a Mac.
• 05:03But be aware that not all the commands in regular SAS
• 05:07will be available in SAS University,
• 05:10although this shouldn't be a problem for Y Speech Classes.
• 05:13And also note that the display of SAS University
• 05:17is slightly different from regular SAS
• 05:20that we will show in class.
• 05:23Your third option is to access SAS using MyApps at Yale.
• 05:28Which is a virtual service
• 05:30that provides access to Yale's Windows based environment.
• 05:34So to do this,
• 05:35you will need to first download
• 05:37the Mac Remote Desktop Client from the Yale Software Library
• 05:41as shown here.
• 05:44So just click on this second option
• 05:46which is the Mac OS Download
• 05:48and then follow the installation instructions
• 05:51on your MacBook.
• 05:53After the download is completed,
• 05:56you will then launch the application
• 05:59and follow the instructions
• 06:00on this web page,
• 06:01which the link will be provided to you.
• 06:05If you scroll down to the Mac Client Instructions
• 06:10there are step by step guidelines of how you can add
• 06:13the Yale Desktop Workspace.
• 06:17So once you launch the application,
• 06:20make sure you're in the PC's tab,
• 06:22click the down arrow besides the plus button
• 06:25and click add workspace.
• 06:28And then when prompted,
• 06:29enter the URL given on this website
• 06:32as the workspace URL and click add.
• 06:37After doing so,
• 06:38you will be prompted to log in with your Yale email address.
• 06:43You will then select your school, work or school account,
• 06:47and then enter your netid password.
• 06:50And after doing all of this,
• 06:52you should be provided access
• 06:55to the Yale desktop in the workspace.
• 06:58And then the Yale desktop icon should appear.
• 07:03So to access this desktop,
• 07:05all you need to do is double click the icon,
• 07:08sign in with your Yale email and netid password.
• 07:16And this should take you
• 07:17directly to the virtual environment.
• 07:25To access SAS all you need to do is search for
• 07:30SAS in the search bar,
• 07:33and we will be using the SAS 9.4 version.
• 07:40And then you will have access to the SAS software.
• 07:44One important thing to note
• 07:47is that all your personal files that you will read into SAS
• 07:52and all your SAS files and other files
• 07:54should be saved onto your OneDrive account
• 07:58rather than this virtual environment such as the desktop
• 08:01or the documents folder.
• 08:04And I will show you how to upload a file onto OneDrive
• 08:09and accessing it in this virtual environment.
• 08:12So the nice thing about this virtual environment
• 08:15is that you can always exit out of the full screen
• 08:19and work in your native Mac environment as well.
• 08:23So you should have the OneDrive account
• 08:26associated with your Yale email address.
• 08:37And then upload the file where you wish to upload
• 08:41I am going to upload it in my documents folder.
• 08:48So the file I just uploaded is called Anova lab
• 08:52and then you can go back to your virtual environment.
• 08:59In the file explorer,
• 09:01you should see a OneDrive
• 09:04tab on the left.
• 09:08Follow the same path where you just saved your file,
• 09:11and then you should see the file that you just uploaded.
• 09:15So when you double click the SAS file,
• 09:20this file should be launched
• 09:22as so.
