SAS

SAS is a statistical analysis suite developed by the SAS Institute. SAS is commercial software, so users must supply their own licence to run this software on Compute Canada clusters. Due to licensing restrictions, the software must be installed locally, in a user's personal directory, rather than centrally.

Running SAS in a Cluster Environment

Given the constraints of a cluster environment, it is recommended that users restrict themselves to the use of SAS in a command line environment by means of the option -nodms.
