This page provides instructions on setting up SAS with UNIX on a Macintosh using the X11 program.
Please note that SAS software cannot be installed directly on computers that are running the Mac operating system. Mac users who would like to use SAS can either run the software on the Windows operating system using virtualization software such as VMware Fusion or Parallels or use the UNIX version of the software.
How to Run Windows Software on a Mac With WineBottler. To get started, download WineBottler. Be sure to download a version that works on your release of Mac OS X. When this article was written, that meant OS X El Capitan and Yosemite users needed to download version 1.8. Open the downloaded DMG file.
Once you have followed the instructions below, you will be able to start SAS by logging in to your UNIX account and typing sas each time you use the software in the future.
Currently there is not a version of SAS available for the Mac OS X operating system. However users can install VirtualBox on their mac. VirtualBox will allow the user to run SAS inside a virtual machine and access SAS from Mac OS with the data and SAS programs in a folder on Mac.
The VirtualBox Quick Start Guide available at: http://support.sas.com/software/products/university-edition/docs/en/SASUniversityEditionQuickStartVirtualBox.pdf

Once VirtualBox is configure (imported: “unvbasicvapp_xxx__ova_en_sp0_1.ova”) and the resulting virtual machine is running (turned on in VirtualBox), you access SAS via the web browser in your Mac (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) at address: http://localhost/10080
