Click on “Choose File”, then choose the SAS University Edition download file (named something useful like “unvbasicvapp_9411015_ova_en_sp0_1.ova”).Open VMWare Fusion, then choose “File > New”, then click “Import an existing virtual machine”, then click “Continue”.You can put this in your Documents folder too. I downloaded the “DVD ISO”, but the “Minimal ISO” probably works just fine. Ignore all the instructions to get Oracle VirtualBox. These instructions aren’t dangerous, but they do involve some advanced skills. If you find yourself stymied by computers, find someone to help you.In that case, you may want to run SAS in batch mode on your Mac. If you are that much like me, you probably take this too far. If you are even more like me, you enjoy automating tedious things so that you can get on with the fun parts of your life. If you are like me, you are not a fan of the SAS user interface (and its Cold War design sensibilities) and yet you find yourself occasionally in need of its computational facilities.
